Summary: 
In this paper, a multiuser receiver based on a Gaussian Mixture Sigma Point Particle Filter (GMSPPF), which can be used for joint channel coefficient estimation and time delay tracking in CDMA communication systems, is introduced. The proposed algorithm has better improved estimation performance than either Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) or Particle Filter (PF). The Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) is derived for the estimator, and the simulation result demonstrates that it is almost completely near-far resistant. For this reason, it is believed that the proposed estimator can replace well-known filters such as the EKF or PF.
