Successive detection algorithm for frequency selective layered space-time receiver

The use of multiple antenna systems provides a great performance advantage in Rayleigh fading environments. To exploit this advantage several schemes like the layered space-time architecture have been proposed, but mostly restricted to narrowband transmission. Recently, Lozano and Papadias have presented a generalization of the well-known V-BLAST detection algorithm for frequency selective fading channels. In order to improve the performance of this receiver, we propose an iterative detection algorithm in this paper.
