Comparison of two channel shortening approaches for MIMO-ISI channels
We consider a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel with inter-symbol interference (ISI) where signal detection is highly complex due to the large signal state-space dimensionality. A common strategy is to apply a front-end filter (FEF) to eliminate the ISI dimension (i.e. full ISI equalization). This FEF is then followed by a frequency non-selective MIMO detector. However, another, much l
