Popis: The long term evolution of UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access, abbreviated as UTRA LTE, will use OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) combined with MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output), termed MIMO-OFDM. And spatial multiplexing MIMO scheme is deployed in UTRA LTE downlink to provide high data rates. Considering the detection of spatial multiplexing signals, well-known techniques such as the V-BLAST schemes provide an attractive error ratio performance, but still a considerable signal processing effort, which merits further research towards less complex schemes. In this communication, the authors will propose a novel set of detection techniques which use intrinsic block decision feedback equalization (BDFE) characteristics instead of successive interference cancellation (SIC). Both zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) schemes based BDFE are proposed, termed as MIMO-BDFE-ZF and MIMO-BDFE-MMSE. Setting out from a novel general model for the evaluation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the data detector output, the authors will evaluate the error ratio performance of the novel MIMO-BDFE and provide comparison results. It will be shown that the porposed scheme provide an attractive performance at a lower realization complexity.
