More specifically,the authors will focus on the deployment of of virtual MIMO in the UTRA LTE uplink and investigrate two different received detection algorithms,namely Zero- Forcing and Minimum Mean Squared Error Successive Interference Cancellation, proposed for V-MIMO dection considering performances and as well as computional complexity.Finally link level simulation results are provided to evaluate algorithms for implementation and feasibility.It has shown ZF-SIC outperforms somewhat MMSE-SIC in terms of BER under diverse practical scenarios dedicated for LTE systems.

INTRODUCTION The rationale of the evolved EUMTS referred as Long- Term Evolution (LTE) [1],[2] is to ensure competitiveness of 3GPP radio access technology for the next decade or beyond. The principal target is to evolve the current UMTS WCDMA specifications to offer performance enhancement particularly in the following aspects, such as higher user data rates, improved system capacity and coverage, reduced latency, increased spectral efficiency, packet optimized technology
