Iterative (turbo) soft interference cancellation and decoding for coded CDMA

by Xiaodong Wang, H. Vincent Poor - IEEE Trans. Commun , 1999
"... Abstract — The presence of both multiple-access interference (MAI) and intersymbol interference (ISI) constitutes a major impediment to reliable communications in multipath code-division multiple-access (CDMA) channels. In this paper, an iterative receiver structure is proposed for decoding multiuse ..."

. Thus, we examine how changes in credit spreads respond to proxies for both changes in the probability of future default and for changes in the recovery rate. Separately, recent empirical studies find that the corporate bond market tends to have relatively high transactions costs and low volume. 1
