Abstract
Single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) is adopted as uplink multiple access scheme in 3G long-term evolution (LTE). Combining SC-FDMA with MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) can increase capacity and throughput but detection technique is required at the base station (BS). Interference cancellation (IC) based on cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a conventional detection algorithm. In this paper, we divide IC into useful IC and useless IC. Simulation results indicate that CRC-based IC algorithm performs too many useless ICs, which increases the complexity. Thresholded IC algorithm is proposed to reduce the complexity. In the proposed algorithm, IC is performed only when the probability that the IC is useful exceeds a threshold. We select 0.5 as the threshold. With the threshold, the proposed algorithm reduces the complexity significantly and keeps the performance loss negligible.
