Abstract

In order to combat the residual interference in multiuser multiple-input and multiple-output systems (MU-MIMO), a number of low-complexity interference aware type of receivers have been considered. In this letter, single layer Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) and Interference Rejection Combiner (IRC) are applied in MU-MIMO transmission. Based on some very simple but extremely useful matrix manipulations, their equivalence is proven analytically and demonstrated via Monte Carlo simulations.
