Realistic performance evaluation for turbo diversity using field measurement data

In turbo diversity technique, soft-cancellation followed by minimum mean squared error filtering (SC-MMSE) is applied to diversity combining of broadband single-carrier signals using multiple antennas in order to reduce the computational complexity. In this paper, our proposed turbo diversity technique is evaluated using field measurement data gathered in a suburban area in Germany. It is verified through the field measurement data-based simulations that the performance of the complexity-reduced turbo diversity technique can asymptotically achieve that of the original SC-MMSE equalizer
