MULTI-USER-MIMO DETECTION USING SPACE-TIME EQUALIZATION

摘要

A wireless device, such as an wireless access point, receives signals detected by a plurality of antennas of a wireless device to produce a plurality of antenna-specific receive signals potentially representing a wireless transmission received from each of one or a plurality of devices. A signal processing component of the wireless device, such as a modem, performs several operations on the antenna-specific receive signals, including building a first space-time equalizer to be applied to the plurality of antenna-specific receive signals to recover a transmission from a first device by both equalizing channel effects and canceling out effects associated with transmissions from devices other than the first device, and building a second space-time equalizer to be applied to the plurality of antenna-specific receive signals to recover a transmission from a second device by both equalizing channel effects and canceling out effects associated with transmissions from devices other than the second device.
