Abstract

This paper develops a joint maximum a posteriori (MAP) spatial filtering receiver by employing a joint parameter estimation approach for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation systems, which can achieve promising bit-error-rate (BER) performance in the presence of co-channel interference (CCI). For a MAP receiver to suppress the CCI, conventionally, this can be done in two ways: 1) spatio-temporal filtering (STF) the received signals prior to the fast Fourier transform (FFT), which we refer to it as preFFT-STF; 2) spatial filtering (SF) the received signals posterior to FFT, which is referred to as postFFT-SF. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms significantly both the preFFT-STF and postFFT-SF systems.
