Full Exploitation of Diversity in Space-time MMSE Receivers

A unified and general vision of different spacetime processors is presented. Many popular receivers can be accommodated, like V-RAKE receivers, weighted V-RAKE, or spatial narrowband beamforming. By making appropriate assumptions on the space/time characteristic of the interference it is possible to enhance the performance of the receiver through spatial/temporal pre-processors. These receivers will be tested in the FDD mode of UTRA [ETSI-UTRA].
