Independent component analysis P23

Telecommunications This chapter deals with applications of independent component analysis (ICA) and blind source separation (BSS) methods to telecommunications. In the following, we concentrate on code division multiple access (CDMA) techniques, because this specific branch of telecommunications provides several possibilities for applying ICA and BSS in a meaningful way. After an introduction to multiuser detection and CDMA communications, we present mathematically the CDMA signal model and show that it can be cast in the form of a noisy matrix ICA model. Then we discuss in more detail three particular applications of ICA or BSS techniques to CDMA data. These are a...
