In this paper, we explore a cooperative code-division-multiple-access(CDMA) network. Users cooperate by forwarding each other¡¦s messages toward the destination. For simplicity, we assume that signal reception at the destination is well-synchronized. Due to practical design issues of CDMA systems, spreading waveforms allocated to users are not perfectly orthogonal in general. This results in multiple-access interference(MAI) at relays and destination. In CDMA uplink networks one common approach is to adopt decorrelating multi-user detection, but it will lead to noise amplification[16,17]. Therefore, we employ relay-assisted decorrelating multiuser detector(RAD-MUD) to mitigate MAI[1] by performing half of decorrelation at the relay and destination respectively. Based on the availability of CSI at relays, we can further adopt cooperative strategies to improve performance, e.g., transmit beamforming and selective relaying. The destination side will use minimum mean-square error(MMSE) detector to demodulate source symbols. In the existing literatures, channel state information(CSI) is assumed to be perfectly known at relay and destination. Actually, CSI is obtained from channel estimation, which usually contains estimation errors. In order to alleviate effects of channel estimation, one goal of this thesis is to design a robust system. Using estimated CSI and statistical property channel estimation errors, we design robust precoder and detector for the relay and destination. It shows that, even with distortion on channel estimations, the system still achieve excellent transmission efficiency. From the simulation results, it shows that the robust design is better than the system without consider channel estimation errors. Finally, we can see that the stable robust design can effectively mitigate effects of imperfect CSI.
