(4.16)
The lower bound holds because a WLMMSE estimator subsumes both the LMMSE
and CLMMSE estimators, so we must have WLMMSE
CLMMSE. However, there is no general ordering of LMMSE and CLMMSE, which we
write as LMMSE
LMMSE and WLMMSE
CLMMSE.
A common scenario in which the lower bound is attained is when y is maximally
improper, i.e., R yy =| R yy |⇔| ρ yy |

1, which yields a zero denominator in ( 4.15 ).
This means that, with probability 1, y =
=
e j α R xy .
In this case, y and y carry exactly the same information about x . Therefore, WLMMSE
estimation is unnecessary, and can be replaced with either LMMSE or CLMMSE esti-
mation. In the maximally improper case, ¯
