Abstract

In the case of non-quasi-static (i.e., time-selective fast fading) channels, which do exist in practice, the performance of the existing NO-STBC detectors can suffer from an irreducible error floor. To this end, this letter proposes a zero-forcing-based signal detector, which is not only computationally simple but also highly effective in mitigating the impact of channel variation on system performance.
