Multi-User Detection Analysis via Aitken-δ² EM Acceleration Algorithm

Abstract

The EM iterative algorithm is commonly used in recent years for missing data, which has the character of easy and popular applicability. But the EM algorithm has a fatal weakness that the convergence speed is slowly; Acceleration of the EM algorithm using the Aitken method is proposed in order to solve this problem.In Multi-user Detection, via this accelerated algorithm, we get a good performance which trends to ML performance, and compared its speed of convergence with the EM algorithm that Aitken-acceleration algorithm has faster convergence than the standard EM algorithm, and we also illustrate the performance of simulation.
