The focus is on the approximate Cholesky factorization method for solving the least mean square estimation matrix equation and determining the required approximation of this algorithm. This method is compared with the most commonly used method in ZF-BLE and it is shown that this method achieves the lowest computational complexity and shows near-ideal bit error rate performance, unlike the characteristics shown in the high code rate of TDD mode. Introduction It is well known that the (NodeB or terminal) receiver of TD-SCDMA [1] requires the use of multi-user (joint detection) to provide a link performance that meets the communication transmission requirements. Four types of joint detectors that have been implemented and have high performance are introduced in [5]. These are all based on zero forcing or minimum mean square error block linear prediction, including two cases with and without decision feedback (referred to as ZF-BLE, MMSE-BLE, ZF-BDFE, MMSE-BDFE in [5]). In [6], two simplified correlation detectors are given, but they are only applicable to the case of only one transmit antenna. Because this case excludes the use of smart antenna technology, which is a hallmark technology of TD-SCDMA, we cannot use the analysis of these two simplified detectors. The authors of [5] and the authors of other research papers, such as the authors of [7], found that the ZF-BLE detector can provide excellent performance far beyond the conventional RAKE receiver and the decision feedback extended RAKE receiver. In addition, these authors also found that the other three more complex joint detectors than the ZF-BLE detector (MMSE-BLE, ZF-BD...
