Abstract
In a companion paper, we have studied the zero-forcing (ZF) transceiver with decision feedback equalizer (DFE) over slowly time-varying narrowband multiinput multioutput (MIMO) channels. The space-time generalized triangular decomposition (ST-GTD) was used for the design of ZF-DFE transceivers. The space-time geometric mean decomposition (ST-GMD) ZF transceiver minimizes both the arithmetic mean square error (MSE) at the feedback detector and the average uncoded bit error rate (BER) in moderate high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This paper addresses the design problem of DFE transceiver without zero-forcing constraint. In the first part, a channel independent temporal precoder is superimposed on the conventional block-wise GMD-based minimum mean square error (MMSE) DFE transceiver to take advantage of the temporal diversity. In the second part, ST-GTD is applied for the design of MMSE DFE transceivers. With accurate channel prediction and space-time powerloading, the proposed ST-GMD MMSE transceiver minimizes the arithmetic MSE at the feedack detector, and maximizes Gaussian mutual information. For practical applications, the ST-GTD MMSE transceiver which does not require channel prediction but shares the same asymptotic BER performance with the ST-GMD MMSE system is also developed. In the convex region, our analysis shows that the proposed MMSE transceivers has better BER performance than the conventional GMD-based MMSE transceiver; the average BERs of the proposed systems are nonincreasing functions of the ST-block size. The superior performance of ST-GMD MMSE transceiver over the ST-GMD ZF transceiver is also verified analytically.
