A Simple Iterative Equalizer for Space Time Coded Multiple Antenna Systems

Abstract

In this paperg a simple low complexity iterative receiver for spacetime coded zSTCg transmission is proposed and the pen formance over frequencyyselective fast and quasistatic fading channels is investigatedF Simulation results show that the pery formance of the proposed structure improves with each iteraytionF Considering the practically prohibitive complexity of opytimal equalizersg the proposed iterative receiver can be more desirable in wireless systems with large number of antennasg big constellation sizes and with lenghty multipathsF
