Abstract

We propose an iterative maximum-likelihood detection (MLD) equalizer using frequency-domain equalization (FDE) at the former stages for wideband transmissions in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The proposed equalization scheme extends the MIMO-MLD for frequency-selective channels, instead of the use of OFDM transmissions. It achieves nearly the ML sequence estimation (MLSE) performance by means of the iterative ISI cancellations. Moreover, we derive an approximated MLD for complexity reduction from a viewpoint of the optimization problem. It is demonstrated that the iterative equalization scheme employing the approximated MLD can offer excellent performance under extremely heavily-dispersive wideband channels, with no requirement of exponential complexity order.
