This paper proposes a new signal detection method, called QR-OSIC with Candidates (QOC) method, for spatially multiplexed multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. By using the ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) algorithm and the maximum likelihood (ML) metric, the proposed method achieves near-ML performance without requiring a large number of candidates. Although the proposed method can be used for both hard and soft decoding systems, it is especially useful for soft decoding systems since the LLR values for all the bits can be efficiently computed without using LLR estimation. The proposed method is also suitable for VLSI implementation since it leads to fixed throughput system.

In this paper, a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) hybrid-automatic repeat request (HARQ) algorithm with antenna scheduling is proposed. It retransmits the packet using scheduled transmit antennas according to the state of the communication link, instead of retransmitting the packet via the same antennas. As a result, a combination of conventional HARQ systems, viz. chase combining (CC) and incremental redundancy (IR) are used to achieve better performance and lower redundancy. The proposed MIMO-OFDM HARQ system with antenna scheduling is shown to be superior to conventional MIMO HARQ systems, due to its spatial diversity gain.

본 논문에서는 다중입력 다중출력(Multiple Input Multiple Output: MIMO) 시스템에서 Maximum Likelihood (ML) 수신기와 같은 성능을 가지지만 복잡도가 낮은 Sphere Decoding (SD) 알고리즘에 대해 분석하고, 그 성능을 평가한다. 각각의 송신 안테나에서 채널로 전송되는 독립적인 신호는 QPSK 방식을 사용하여 변조되며, 채널은 산란이 활발하게 일어나는 레일리(Rayleigh) 평탄 페이딩 채널로 가정한다. 수신기에서 수신된 신호는 Fincke & Pohst SD 알고리즘에 의해 간 송신 안테나로부터의 독립적인 신호로 검파되며 그 성능이 ML수신기의 성능과 비교되었다. 추가적으로 복잡도를 줄이기 위해 개선된 형태인 Viterbo & Boutros SD 알고리즘을 이용하여 검파된 신호의 BER 성능과 부동 소수점 연산량 (Floating Point Operations: FLOPS)이 각각 비교 분석되었다.

A joint channel estimation and data detection technique for a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless communication system is proposed. It combines the least square (LS) training based channel estimation (TBCE) scheme with sphere decoding. In this new approach, channel estimation is enhanced with the help of blind symbols, which are selected based on their correctness. The correctness is determined via sphere decoding. The performance of the new scheme is studied through simulation in terms of the bit error rate (BER). The results show that the proposed channel estimation has comparable performance and better computational complexity over the existing semi-blind channel estimation (SBCE) method.

In this letter, we propose low-complexity Hybrid-Partial-Gaussian-Approximation (HPGA) decoding methods for core-layer signal of Layered-Division-Multiplexing Multiple-Inputs-Multiple- Outputs ATSC 3.0 broadcasting systems. The proposed HPGA decoding methods have an advantage of being able to greatly reduce decoding complexity without significant performance degradation compared to a conventional PGA method, by selectively using existing GA and PGA methods according to a received injection-level at an each receive antenna.

Lattice decoding concept has been proposed for the implementation of the Maximum-Likelihood detection which is the optimal receiver from the viewpoint of the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance for MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. Sphere decoding algorithm and K-best decoding algorithm are based on the lattice decoding concept. A K-best decoding algorithm shows a good BER performance with relatively low complexity. However, with small K value, the error propagation effect severely degrades the performance. In this paper, we propose an adaptive K-best decoding algorithm which has lower average complexity and better BER performance than conventional K-best decoding algorithm.

Sphere decoding (SD) for multiple-input and multiple-output systems is a well-recognized approach for achieving near-maximum likelihood performance with reduced complexity. SD is a tree search process, whereby a large number of nodes can be searched in an effort to find an estimation of a transmitted symbol vector. In this paper, a simple and generalized approach called layer pruning is proposed to achieve complexity reduction in SD. Pruning a layer from a search process reduces the total number of nodes in a sphere search. The symbols corresponding to the pruned layer are obtained by adopting a QRM-MLD receiver. Simulation results show that the proposed method reduces the number of nodes to be searched for decoding the transmitted symbols by maintaining negligible performance loss. The proposed technique reduces the complexity by 35% to 42% in the low and medium signal-to-noise ratio regime. To demonstrate the potential of our method, we compare the results with another well-known method - namely, probabilistic tree pruning SD.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology applied with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is considered as the ultimate solution to increase channel capacity without any additional spectral resources. At the receiver side, the challenge resides in designing low complexity detection algorithms capable of separating independent streams sent simultaneously from different antennas. In this paper, we introduce an upper-lower bounded-complexity QRD-M algorithm (ULBC QRD-M). In the proposed algorithm we solve the problem of high extreme complexity of the conventional sphere decoding by fixing the upper bound complexity to that of the conventional QRD-M. On the other hand, ULBC QRD-M intelligently cancels all unnecessary hypotheses to achieve very low computational requirements. Analyses and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves the performance of conventional QRD-M with only 26% of the required computations.

In wireless communication, the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is a well-known approach to improve the reliability as well as the data rate. In MIMO systems, channel state information (CSI) is typically required at the receiver to detect transmitted signals; however, in practical systems, the CSI is imperfect and contains errors, which affect the overall system performance. In this paper, we propose a novel maximum likelihood (ML) scheme for MIMO systems that is robust to the CSI errors. We apply an optimization method to estimate an instantaneous covariance matrix of the CSI errors in order to improve the detection performance. Furthermore, we propose the employment of the list sphere decoding (LSD) scheme to reduce the computational complexity, which is capable of efficiently finding a reduced set of the candidate symbol vectors for the computation of the covariance matrix of the CSI errors. An iterative detection scheme is also proposed to further improve the detection performance.

In this paper we propose a system where we divide the group with 2 symbols. The two added symbols are separated by multiplexing and later added using the DE-multiplexing technique. In our proposed system a simple Partial Interference Cancelation (PIC) group decoding scheme is used for Double-ABBA(D-ABBA) Quasi-Orthogonal Space Time Code, which reduces the decoding complexity for the higher order Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) space time block coding. Finally we compare the proposed scheme performance using the different modulation schemes.
