Abstract

Estimating transmit symbol vectors transmitted in an overloaded communication channel includes receiving a signal represented by a received signal vector, the received signal vector corresponding to a superposition of signals representing transmitted symbols selected from a constellation of symbols and transmitted from one or more transmitters.
