Abstract

Ordered successive MMSE detection (OSD) can achieve a good tradeoff between performance and complexity for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems where different data streams are transmitted and received simultaneously over several equal number of transmit and receive antennas. However, over time-varying MIMO channels, the performance of OSD is degraded with realistic channel estimation. The accuracy of the generated ing weights is improved by using a modified noise variance that takes into consideration the weights update lag error besides to the noise and channel estimation errors is proposed in this paper. Simulation results by using the proposed modified noise variance estimation scheme show significant performance improvements for OSD.
