In asynchronous code division multiple access (A-CDMA) systems transmitting over multipath channels, both intersymbol interference (ISI) as a result of interchip (ICI) and (MAI) cannot be easily eliminated. Although it is possible to design multiuser detectors that suppress MAI ISI, these often require explicit knowledge at least the desired users' signature waveform.
