Title
Optimum power allocation for a V-BLAST system with two antennas at the transmitter
Abstract
In this letter we propose a power optimization scheme for 2/spl times/N (where N is the number of receive antennas) Vertical Bell Laboratories Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) systems. The proposed scheme minimizes the uncoded probability of vector error for each channel realization, considering error propagation. Simulation results show that this approach can yield SNR gain of up to about 3 dB for a 2/spl times/2 system at probability of vector error 10/sup -3/ and can partially compensate for the performance loss due to error propagation.
