Neighbor Discovery in Wireless Networks:A Multiuser-Detection Approach

— We examine the problem of determining which nodes are neighbors of a given one in a wireless network. We consider an unsupervised network operating on a frequencyflat Gaussian channel, where K + 1 nodes associate their identities to nonorthogonal signatures, transmitted at random times, synchronously, and independently. A number of neighbordiscovery algorithms, based on different optimization criteria, are introduced and analyzed. Numerical results show how reducedcomplexity algorithms can achieve a satisfactory performance.
