Exact Outage Probability of V-BLAST with Ordered MMSE-SIC Detection

Authors:

Abstract:

A new method for determining the layer-wise SINR distribution as well as the total outage probability of V-BLAST with successive interference cancellation at the receiver is presented. In contrast to previous publications, we do not restrict to zero-forcing, but also consider minimum mean square error interference suppression. It is shown that optimizing the detection sequence is even more important in this case, and that ordered MMSE-SIC can achieve full receive diversity if the data rate per layer is not larger than one.
