Abstract—In this paper, we propose a low-complexity soft-input/soft-output (SISO) Chase multiuser detector that has a polynomial computational complexity in terms of the number of the least reliable bit positions for low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems, which is a potentially competitive technology for underwater acoustic networks (UWAN). Simulation results over highly correlated channels show that the proposed detector can afford searching over a larger number of the least reliable bit positions and achieve better bit-error-rate (BER) performance as compared with the Chase-II detector at much lower complexity.
