This slim volume is a compilation of some of the author's past research in signal processing for CDMA systems. Writing with refreshing clarity, the author first presents a brisk introduction of CDMA concepts, then moves on to detection and parameter estimation for both long and short code systems, using various methods based on the MOE, subspace concepts, space-time processing, with accompanying investigations of adaptive implementation and performance analysis. Especially useful are the numerous derivations of formula and proofs where every last bit of detail is shown.

A short chapter with introductory material to multicarrier CDMA comes next, and the book is rounded off by a novel scheme which combines CDMA and "space-division multiple access" to create a MAC protocol which adapts transmission to channel conditions. Although the topics covered are somewhat dated (in a relative sense when the fast pace of development in the field is considered), this book is still useful reading for those who want a better understanding of the subject matter, especially that of linear optimisation methods crafted for CDMA. Oh, and don't let the term "CDMA" mislead you; most of what's in here can be applied to 3G systems as well.

This book presents many advanced results on adaptive signal processing for CDMA communications. The author has done many works in this area.

The book is a good reference for university students, researchers and engineers.
