Summary: 
This letter introduces a novel multi-user detection method, successive interference cancellation based on the order of log-likelihood-ratio(LLR-SIC), for code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. Unlike the conventional successive interference cancellation (SIC) based on the order of correlation, LLR-SIC operates on the fact that the user with the largest absolute value of log-likelihood ratio (LLR) should be first detected and cancelled from received signal. Simulation results show that LLR-SIC significantly outperforms the conventional SIC and partial parallel interference cancellation (P-PIC) over Rayleigh fading channels, and that LLR-SIC performance is not sensitive to channel estimation error at medium Eb/N0.
