Space-time two dimensional RAKE receiver was introduced into asynchronous and cooperative communication system, and a high-performance RAKE receiving algorithm was proposed. In this algorithm, the transmitting signals were estimated coarsely by traditional space-time rake receiver, then each multipath signal was reconstructed using the estimated result as well as the channel impulse response, and then eliminated successively from reception signals, so it can eliminate Inter Symbol Interference of receiver signals which generate by multipath fading, and the line of sight (LOS) component in the received signal was obtained, and finally, the space-time combination was carried out to the LOS component, and the spatial diversity was achieved. This algorithm can effectively reduce the bit error rate of the asynchronous cooperative communication system. Simulation result shows that the new algorithm can improve the performance of traditional space-time RAKE when SNR is higher than 5dB dramatically.
