Soft MIMO detection through sphere decoding and box optimization
[EN] Achieving optimal detection performance with low complexity is
one of the major challenges, mainly in multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) detection. This paper presents three low-complexity Soft-Output
MIMO detection algorithms
that are based mainly on Box Optimization (BO) techniques. The proposed
methods provide good performance with low computational cost using
continuous constrained optimization techniques. The rst proposed
algorithm is a non-optimal Soft-Output detector of reduced complexity.
This algorithm
has been compared with the Soft-Output Fixed Complexity (SFSD) algorithm,
obtaining lower complexity and similar performance. The two remaining
algorithms are employed in a turbo receiver, achieving the max-log
Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) performance. The two Soft-Input Soft-Output
(SISO) algorithms were proposed in a previous work for soft-output MIMO
detection. This work presents its extension for iterative decoding. The
SISO algorithms presented
are developed and compared with the SISO Single Tree Search algorithm
(STS), in terms of efficiency and computational cost. The results show
that the proposed algorithms are more efficient for high order
constellation than the STS algorithm.Simarro, MA.; García Mollá, VM.; Vidal Maciá, AM.; Martínez Zaldívar, FJ.; Gonzalez, A. (2018). Soft MIMO detection through sphere decoding and box optimization. Signal Processing. 145:48-58. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sigpro.2017.11.010S485814
Iterative decoding for MIMO channels via modified sphere decoding
In recent years, soft iterative decoding techniques have been shown to greatly improve the bit error rate performance of various communication systems. For multiantenna systems employing space-time codes, however, it is not clear what is the best way to obtain the soft information required of the iterative scheme with low complexity. In this paper, we propose a modification of the Fincke-Pohst (sphere decoding) algorithm to estimate the maximum a posteriori probability of the received symbol sequence. The new algorithm solves a nonlinear integer least squares problem and, over a wide range of rates and signal-to-noise ratios, has polynomial-time complexity. Performance of the algorithm, combined with convolutional, turbo, and low-density parity check codes, is demonstrated on several multiantenna channels. The results for systems that employ space-time modulation schemes seem to indicate that the best performing schemes are those that support the highest mutual information between the transmitted and received signals, rather than the best diversity gain
High-Rate Space-Time Coded Large MIMO Systems: Low-Complexity Detection and Channel Estimation
In this paper, we present a low-complexity algorithm for detection in
high-rate, non-orthogonal space-time block coded (STBC) large-MIMO systems that
achieve high spectral efficiencies of the order of tens of bps/Hz. We also
present a training-based iterative detection/channel estimation scheme for such
large STBC MIMO systems. Our simulation results show that excellent bit error
rate and nearness-to-capacity performance are achieved by the proposed
multistage likelihood ascent search (M-LAS) detector in conjunction with the
proposed iterative detection/channel estimation scheme at low complexities. The
fact that we could show such good results for large STBCs like 16x16 and 32x32
STBCs from Cyclic Division Algebras (CDA) operating at spectral efficiencies in
excess of 20 bps/Hz (even after accounting for the overheads meant for pilot
based training for channel estimation and turbo coding) establishes the
effectiveness of the proposed detector and channel estimator. We decode perfect
codes of large dimensions using the proposed detector. With the feasibility of
such a low-complexity detection/channel estimation scheme, large-MIMO systems
with tens of antennas operating at several tens of bps/Hz spectral efficiencies
can become practical, enabling interesting high data rate wireless
applications.Comment: v3: Performance/complexity comparison of the proposed scheme with
other large-MIMO architectures/detectors has been added (Sec. IV-D). The
paper has been accepted for publication in IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in
Signal Processing (JSTSP): Spl. Iss. on Managing Complexity in Multiuser MIMO

Adaptive and Iterative Multi-Branch MMSE Decision Feedback Detection Algorithms for MIMO Systems
In this work, decision feedback (DF) detection algorithms based on multiple
processing branches for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) spatial multiplexing
systems are proposed. The proposed detector employs multiple cancellation
branches with receive filters that are obtained from a common matrix inverse
and achieves a performance close to the maximum likelihood detector (MLD).
Constrained minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) receive filters designed with
constraints on the shape and magnitude of the feedback filters for the
multi-branch MMSE DF (MB-MMSE-DF) receivers are presented. An adaptive
implementation of the proposed MB-MMSE-DF detector is developed along with a
recursive least squares-type algorithm for estimating the parameters of the
receive filters when the channel is time-varying. A soft-output version of the
MB-MMSE-DF detector is also proposed as a component of an iterative detection
and decoding receiver structure. A computational complexity analysis shows that
the MB-MMSE-DF detector does not require a significant additional complexity
over the conventional MMSE-DF detector, whereas a diversity analysis discusses
the diversity order achieved by the MB-MMSE-DF detector. Simulation results
show that the MB-MMSE-DF detector achieves a performance superior to existing
suboptimal detectors and close to the MLD, while requiring significantly lower
complexity.Comment: 10 figures, 3 tables; IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications,
