Abstract
This paper proposes an efficient detection algorithm, which is composed of an interference nulling-and cancelling-based detection algorithm and a maximum likelihood (ML) detection algorithm having reduced numbers of signal points to be tested, for the quasi-orthogonal space-time code with four transmit antennas. When high-level modulation schemes are employed, the algorithm enables the quasi-orthogonal code to achieve near ML performance with a significant reduction in the computational load.
