A simplified MMSE-based iterative receiver for MIMO systems

A simplified minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector is proposed for joint detection and decoding of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The matrix inversion lemma and the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the channel matrix are used to simplify the computation of the coefficient of the MMSE filter. Compared to the original MMSE detector, the proposed detector has a much lower computational complexity with only a marginal performance loss. The proposed detector can also be applied to MIMO systems with high order modulations.
