Full exploitation of diversity in space-time MMSE receivers

A unified and general vision of different space-time 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 are tested in the FDD mode of UTRA [ETSI-UTRA].
