Efficient Detectors for MIMO-OFDM Systems under Spatial Correlation Antenna Arrays
This work analyzes the performance of the implementable detectors for
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM) technique under specific and realistic operation system
condi- tions, including antenna correlation and array configuration.
Time-domain channel model has been used to evaluate the system performance
under realistic communication channel and system scenarios, including different
channel correlation, modulation order and antenna arrays configurations. A
bunch of MIMO-OFDM detectors were analyzed for the purpose of achieve high
performance combined with high capacity systems and manageable computational
complexity. Numerical Monte-Carlo simulations (MCS) demonstrate the channel
selectivity effect, while the impact of the number of antennas, adoption of
linear against heuristic-based detection schemes, and the spatial correlation
effect under linear and planar antenna arrays are analyzed in the MIMO-OFDM
context.Comment: 26 pgs, 16 figures and 5 table
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

On Low-Resolution ADCs in Practical 5G Millimeter-Wave Massive MIMO Systems
Nowadays, millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) systems is a favorable candidate for the fifth generation (5G) cellular
systems. However, a key challenge is the high power consumption imposed by its
numerous radio frequency (RF) chains, which may be mitigated by opting for
low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), whilst tolerating a
moderate performance loss. In this article, we discuss several important issues
based on the most recent research on mmWave massive MIMO systems relying on
low-resolution ADCs. We discuss the key transceiver design challenges including
channel estimation, signal detector, channel information feedback and transmit
precoding. Furthermore, we introduce a mixed-ADC architecture as an alternative
technique of improving the overall system performance. Finally, the associated
challenges and potential implementations of the practical 5G mmWave massive
MIMO system {with ADC quantizers} are discussed.Comment: to appear in IEEE Communications Magazin
Low-complexity dominance-based Sphere Decoder for MIMO Systems
The sphere decoder (SD) is an attractive low-complexity alternative to
maximum likelihood (ML) detection in a variety of communication systems. It is
also employed in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems where the
computational complexity of the optimum detector grows exponentially with the
number of transmit antennas. We propose an enhanced version of the SD based on
an additional cost function derived from conditions on worst case interference,
that we call dominance conditions. The proposed detector, the king sphere
decoder (KSD), has a computational complexity that results to be not larger
than the complexity of the sphere decoder and numerical simulations show that
the complexity reduction is usually quite significant
MIMO-aided near-capacity turbo transceivers: taxonomy and performance versus complexity
In this treatise, we firstly review the associated Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system theory and review the family of hard-decision and soft-decision based detection algorithms in the context of Spatial Division Multiplexing (SDM) systems. Our discussions culminate in the introduction of a range of powerful novel MIMO detectors, such as for example Markov Chain assisted Minimum Bit-Error Rate (MC-MBER) detectors, which are capable of reliably operating in the challenging high-importance rank-deficient scenarios, where there are more transmitters than receivers and hence the resultant channel-matrix becomes non-invertible. As a result, conventional detectors would exhibit a high residual error floor. We then invoke the Soft-Input Soft-Output (SISO) MIMO detectors for creating turbo-detected two- or three-stage concatenated SDM schemes and investigate their attainable performance in the light of their computational complexity. Finally, we introduce the powerful design tools of EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT)-charts and characterize the achievable performance of the diverse near- capacity SISO detectors with the aid of EXIT charts
MIMO Transmission with Residual Transmit-RF Impairments
Physical transceiver implementations for multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) wireless communication systems suffer from transmit-RF (Tx-RF)
impairments. In this paper, we study the effect on channel capacity and
error-rate performance of residual Tx-RF impairments that defy proper
compensation. In particular, we demonstrate that such residual distortions
severely degrade the performance of (near-)optimum MIMO detection algorithms.
To mitigate this performance loss, we propose an efficient algorithm, which is
based on an i.i.d. Gaussian model for the distortion caused by these
impairments. In order to validate this model, we provide measurement results
based on a 4-stream Tx-RF chain implementation for MIMO orthogonal
frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM).Comment: to be presented at the International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas -
