Abstract

Optimal and suboptimal spatial maximum a posteriori (MAP) receivers in a concatenation of linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) equalizer structure are presented for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) systems. The performance of a list sphere detector is compared to that of the spatial MAP and LMMSE-MAP receivers. The complexity of the receivers is also discussed. Finally, the LMMSE-MAP based receivers are proposed for the frequency selective fading channels where LMMSE part mitigates the multiple access interference (MAI) and inter-antenna interference (IAI) is mitigated by the spatial MAP or its approximation. Remarkable performance gains compared to the conventional rake receiver are observed in computer simulations with realistic WCDMA system parameters.
