Despite the assistance of well-recognized hot technologies such as Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), cell-edge mobile users still suffer significant performance degradation in uplink, thus restricting the system coverage. Here we propose a hybrid solution which takes the advantages turbo processing, resulting in an enhanced MIMO OFDM receiver. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme is capable of achieving a good link performance.
