Performance of DS UWB with MUD Schemes

UWB technology has specific advantages that make it ideal for high data rate wireless short range communication, including low transmission power, low implementation complexity and multipath resistance, and these advantages can be exploited for WPAN or Future Wireless Ad hoc Networks. This paper compares the performance of two MUD (Multiuser Detection) schemes known as successive interference cancellation (SIC) and parallel interference cancellation (PIC). The comparison is done analytically and through simulations, using Matlab. Before analytical details of these two suboptimal schemes, I will first propose the DS-UWB receiver system model, which employed the Iterative channel estimation and detection with PIC and SIC.
