First Claim
1. A method for increasing the throughput of a multi-user detection-based multiple access communications system, said system comprised of at least one transmitter for transmitting data signals and at least one corresponding receiver, the method comprising the steps of:
- representing each signature waveform corresponding to each said transmitted signal as a vector of values dependent upon several parameters;
assigning the value of at least one of said parameters to each said transmitted signal;
transmitting said transmitted signal via a dual polarized transmission antenna;
incorporating a horizontal polarized port and a vertical polarized port in said dual polarized transmission antenna;
receiving said transmitted signals via a dual polarized reception antenna;
incorporating a horizontal polarized port and a vertical polarized port in said dual polarized receiving antenna;
assigning polarization ellipses in a feedback communication loop between a controller and the at least one transmitter;
differentiating between similar signals by detecting each signal'"'"'s set of parameters, both those assigned and those left to physical circumstance; and
jointly detecting data streams associated with each of the signals using a multiuser detection (MUD) processing scheme, the MUD processing scheme having been advantaged by the assignment of said parameters for each transmitted signal.

Abstract
The present invention is a digital communication method that increases the overall throughput of a Multiuser Detection (MUD)-based co-channel multiple access (MA) system in terms of the total number of bits transmitted through the shared medium by all the users of the MA system if signals are allowed to interfere. The total number of users can be increased if more dimensions are used for assigning the transmitted signals and the same dimensions are measured at the receiver. Specifically, the present invention does not require any coordination among transmitters but simply requires a transmitter to send its signal with either a randomly chosen polarization ellipse, or an assigned or randomly chosen amplitude level.
