Iterative MIMO Multi-User Detection: Performance Evaluation with COST 259 Channel Model

This paper evaluates the performance of a multi-user MIMO detector for various channel models. An implementation of the COST 259 channel model is used in comparison to a simple stochastic tapped delay line model. The performance of the receiver using the various channel models is shown for varying number of users and varying antenna spacings. The receiver has no knowledge about the detailed autocorrelation and power delay profile of the channel, only a maximum velocity of the mobile station and a maximum essential support of the impulse response is assumed.
