Iterative Receivers for Pre-transformed MIMO-OFDM Systems

In this paper, we present a pre-transformed (PT) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, in short PT-MIMO-OFDM system. We propose two receiver structures that combine the iterative subcarrier reconstruction and iterative interference cancellation to fully exploit both the spatial and the frequency diversity of MIMO-OFDM systems. Significant performance gain can be achieved. Based on the performance and receiver complexity tradeoff, we also present a set of guidelines for choosing either one of the two receivers in practical systems
