In this paper, linear precoding (LP) algorithm has been studied to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of large scale multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system. A new technique of enhancing the BER performance of linear precoding algorithm without complexity in hardware and mathematical calculations is proposed and it is used on a traditional LP algorithms like a Maximum Ratio Transmission (MRT), a Zero-Forcing (ZF), a Regularized Zero-Forcing (RZF), and a Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) for Millimeter wave MU-MIMO communication system. A new technique is also used to mitigate the BER gab problem between (ZF, MMSE) and (RZF, MMSE) linear precoding algorithms. The result shows that with using the new technique, the BER performance of modified LP significantly outperform their traditional LP by 10−5 when using 4 element of BS antenna, 10−6 when using 16 element of BS antenna and mitigate the BER gab problem at different signal to noise ratio (SNR).

Modern wireless communications require an efficient spectrum usage and high channel capacity and throughput. Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), Linear equalizers, multi-user detection and multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) are possible solutions to achieve spectral efficiency, high channel capacity, eliminate multiple access interference (MAI), eliminate Inter symbol interference (ISI) and robustness against frequency selective fading. In this paper, we combine all these techniques and investigate BER performance. We propose a low complexity receiver structure for Single-input Multiple-output (SIMO) downlink MC-CDMA systems. It employs an interference cancellation scheme to suppress the interference caused by the multipath fading channel. Also, the proposed scheme is developed for MIMO MC-CDMA system. The performance analysis of Downlink MIMO MC-CDMA systems with V-BLAST over frequency selective fading channel is investigated under various number of transmit and receive antennas. The simulation results show proposed SIMO equalization with parallel interference cancellation scheme is effective in reducing the ISI and the MAI. It improves the performance significantly and the simulation results show that MIMO MC-CDMA with V-BLAST multi-user detection provides high data rate and the BER significant improvement.
