Multistage MMSE PIC Space–Time Receiver With Non-Mutually Exclusive Grouping

The arrival of new data services for wireless mobile communications requires an efficient use of the available bandwidth. Interference-limited cellular systems based on code-division multiple access (CDMA) can benefit from multiuser detection (MUD) and beamforming with antenna array to reduce multiple-access interference. Group-based techniques have been proposed to reduce the complexity of space-time MUD and have been shown to provide a performance-complexity tradeoff between matched filtering and full MUD. In this paper, the intergroup interference, which is a limiting factor in group-based systems, is reduced using multistage parallel interference cancellation after group-based minimum mean square error (MMSE) linear filtering. In addition, the extra resources that are available at the receiver are exploited by sharing users among groups. The proposed receiver is shown to converge, as the number of stages increases, to the full space-time MMSE linear MUD filter. The results show that the new approach provides bit error rate (BER) performance close to the full MUD receiver at a fraction of the complexity.
