ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we consider the problem of designing low sample support (packet-rate) adaptive receivers for
mobile communications. We examine both disjoint and joint configurations where estimations of receiver
parameters and packet-data detection are performed either in two separate stages or in a coupled, joint
manner, respectively. For the first case, we focus on minimum mean square error/minimum variance
distortionless response (MMSE/MVDR)-type receivers, while for the second case, we develop generalized
likelihood ratio test (GLRT)-type detectors. Complete adaptive antenna-array DS-CDMA receiver structures
are developed. Receiver performance is measured in terms of output signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio
and bit-error-rate.
