A novel iterative receiver is proposed for relay-assisted multiuser communications in which multiple users transmit to a destination with the help of a relay and using fast frequency-hopping modulation. Each user employs a channel encoder to protect its information and facilitate interference cancellation at the receiver. The signal received at the relay is either amplified, or partially decoded with a simple energy detector, before being forwarded to the destination. The proposed iterative receiver exploits the soft outputs of a channel decoder to successively extract the maximum-likelihood symbols of the users and perform interference cancellation. Under the same spectral efficiency, simulation results demonstrate superior performance of the proposed receiver when compared to the performance of an interference cancellation scheme that was previously proposed for multiuser communications and is extended to multiuser amplify-and-forward relaying considered in this study, as well as performance of the maximum-likelihood multiuser detection for uncoded transmission.
