Abstract

The present embodiments relate to multi user detection in distributed antenna systems. A communication system may include a central processing circuitry and a plurality of access points connected to the central processing circuitry via a fronthaul interface. Each access point of the plurality of access points may include a plurality of antennas configured to receive signals from a plurality of UEs, and a local processing circuitry connected to the plurality of antennas. The local processing circuitry may be configured to estimate channel properties of a MIMO channel between the UEs and the antennas of the access point, and determine a subset of the UEs using the channel properties. The local processing circuitry may transmit data associated with the subset of wireless communication devices to the central processing circuitry for use to perform multiuser detection at the central processing circuitry.
