For multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) spatial multiplexing, signal separation/detection is one of the most important signal processing parts, so that signal separation/detection schemes are being vigorously researched. As a promising signal separation/detection scheme, frequency-domain iterative soft interference cancellation (FD-SIC) has been proposed. Although iterative FD-SIC can provide the transmission performance close to lower bound for QPSK, the accuracy of signal separation/detection significantly degrades in case of high level data modulation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose layered soft interference cancellation (LSIC). We consider single-carrier (SC)-MIMO spatial multiplexing with frequency domain equalization (FDE). The achievable frame error rate (FER) performances with LSIC are evaluated by computer simulation to show that LSIC can provide better FER performance than iterative FD-SIC.
