Title: STATISTICAL PREFILTER DESIGN FOR MIMO ZF AND MMSE RECEIVERS BASED ON MAJORIZATION THEORY

Abstract: Recently, the authors have proposed statistical prefilters for MMSE and ZF receivers that minimize SER. In this paper, we give a general derivation of their structure based on majorization theory. For both receiver types it is shown that the optimal prefilter essentially transmits on the strongest long-term eigenmodes of the channel with proper power allocation. Moreover, simple closed-form power allocation schemes are presented for Rayleigh and Ricean fading environments. Interestingly, while the statistical prefilters exhibit the same basic mathematical structure as their short-term counterparts, they require only statistical information of the correlation properties and the Ricean component of the channel. Monte-Carlo simulations show that the proposed filters can achieve a considerable performance gain. Specifically, it is demonstrated that they can completely counteract the SER degradation due to a Ricean channel component.
