This paper proposes a novel spatiotemporal equalizer using a cascaded connection of multibeam adaptive array and multi-input maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) based on single-user detection. The computational load for the proposed method is much lower than that of the optimal method, and computer simulations revealed that its bit-error-rate (BER) performance is identical to that of the optimal method. Theoretical analysis also supports equivalency between these methods.
