Abstract:
1. A method for decoding a signal vector in a multiple-input multiple-output transmission scheme, comprising: receiving multiple signal vectors corresponding to a common transmit signal vector, wherein each of the received signal vectors is associated with a channel response matrix; combining the multiple received signal vectors into a combined received signal vector, wherein the combined received signal vector has a noise component; combining the channel response matrices into a combined channel response matrix; processing the combined received signal vector based on the combined channel response matrix to produce a modified noise component with a diagonal covariance matrix, wherein processing the combined received signal vector based on the combined channel response matrix comprises multiplying the combined received signal vector, {tilde over (y)}, by {tilde over (H)} decoding the processed combined received signal vector based on the combined channel response matrix.
