Abstract: The Bell-Labs Layered Space-time (BLAST) architecture is a simpleand efficient multi-antenna coding structure that can achieve high-spectral efficiency [1]. Many BLAST detectors require more receiver antennas than transmitter antennas. We propose a novel turbo-processing BLAST detector based on a group detection strategy that can operate in systems with fewer receiver antennas than transmitter antennas. A maximum a posteriori (MAP) decision is made using a group of transmitted symbols and the remaining signal contribution is treated as interference. The interference is characterized as non-zero mean colored noise source that is whitened before a decision is made. The proposed detector, the Group MAP (GMAP) detector, is a generalization of both the MAP detector and the turbo-processing Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) detector in [2,3]. A novel grouping algorithm is proposed for the GMAP detector. Simulation is used to compare the GMAP detector with the MAP detector and MMSE detector.
