Throughput Study for Ad hoc Network with Multiuser Detection

The importance of multiuser detection for CDMA-based mobile Ad hoc network is addressed in this paper. Different from conventional scheme, each terminal of the Ad hoc network in this paper is equipped with an adaptive blind linear multiuser detector. Employing slotted-Aloha protocol in MAC layer, and following full-connected network model, the throughput of Ad hoc network is studied. Theoretic analysis and simulation results show that multiuser detection can remarkably improve throughput performance of Ad hoc network.
