ABSTRACT

Future wireless communications promise to offer a variety of multimedia services that require reliable transmission at high data rates. Foschini and Gans [12] have demonstrated the enormous capacity potential gain of wireless communication systems with antenna arrays at both the transmitter and receiver. In order to achieve the promised high data rates over frequency selective multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels, such as mobile radio channels, the receiver has to combat both intersymbol interference (ISI) and spatial interference (between antennas) by using an equalizer.
