An Iterative Soft Decision Based LR-Aided MIMO Detector

The demand for wireless and high-rate communication system is increasing gradually and multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) is one of the feasible solutions to accommodate the growing demand for its spatial multiplexing and diversity gain. However, with high number of antennas, the computational and hardware complexity of MIMO increases exponentially. This accumulating complexity is a paramount problem in MIMO detection system directly leading to large power consumption. Hence, the major focus of this dissertation is algorithmic and hardware development of MIMO decoder with reduced complexity for both real and complex domain, which can be a beneficial solution with power efficiency and high throughput. Both hard and soft domain MIMO detectors are considered. The use of lattice reduction (LR) algorithm and on-demand-child-expansion for the reduction of noise propagation and node calculation respectively are the two of the key features of our developed architecture, presented in this literature. The real domain iterative soft MIMO decoding algorithm, simulated for 4 × 4 MIMO with different modulation scheme, achieves 1.1 to 2.7 dB improvement over Lease Sphere Decoder (LSD) and more than 8x reduction in list size, K as well as complexity of the detector. Next, the iterative real domain K-Best decoder is expanded to the complex domain with new detection scheme. It attains 6.9 to 8.0 dB improvement over real domain K-Best decoder and 1.4 to 2.5 dB better performance over conventional complex decoder for 8 × 8 MIMO with 64 QAM modulation scheme. Besides K, a new adjustable parameter, Rlimit has been introduced in order to append re-configurability trading-off between complexity and performance. After that, a novel low-power hardware architecture of complex decoder is developed for 8 × 8 MIMO and 64 QAM modulation scheme. The total word length of only 16 bits has been adopted limiting the bit error rate (BER) degradation to 0.3 dB with K and Rlimit equal to 4. The proposed VLSI architecture is modeled in Verilog HDL using Xilinx and synthesized using Synopsys Design Vision in 45 nm CMOS technology. According to the synthesize result, it achieves 1090.8 Mbps throughput with power consumption of 580 mW and latency of 0.33 us. The maximum frequency the design proposed is 181.8 MHz. All of the proposed decoders mentioned above are bounded by the fixed K. Hence, an adaptive real domain K-Best decoder is further developed to achieve the similar performance with less K, thereby reducing the computational complexity of the decoder. It does not require accurate SNR measurement to perform the initial estimation of list size, K. Instead, the difference between the first two minimal distances is considered, which inherently eliminates complexity. In summary, a novel iterative K-Best detector for both real and complex domain with efficient VLSI design is proposed in this dissertation. The results from extensive simulation and VHDL with analysis using Synopsys tool are also presented for justification and validation of the proposed works

Novel Efficient Precoding Techniques for Multiuser MIMO Systems

In Multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) systems, precoding is essential to eliminate or minimize the multiuser interference (MUI). However, the design of a suitable precoding algorithm with good overall performance and low computational complexity at the same time is quite challenging, especially with the increase of system dimensions. In this thesis, we explore the art of novel low-complexity high-performance precoding algorithms with both linear and non-linear processing strategies. Block diagonalization (BD)-type based precoding techniques are well-known linear precoding strategies for MU-MIMO systems. By employing BD-type precoding algorithms at the transmit side, the MU-MIMO broadcast channel is decomposed into multiple independent parallel SU-MIMO channels and achieves the maximum diversity order at high data rates. The main computational complexity of BD-type precoding algorithms comes from two singular value decomposition (SVD) operations, which depend on the number of users and the dimensions of each user's channel matrix. In this thesis, two categories of low-complexity precoding algorithms are proposed to reduce the computational complexity and improve the performance of BD-type precoding algorithms. One is based on multiple LQ decompositions and lattice reductions. The other one is based on a channel inversion technique, QR decompositions, and lattice reductions to decouple the MU-MIMO channel into equivalent SU-MIMO channels. Both of the two proposed precoding algorithms can achieve a comparable sum-rate performance as BD-type precoding algorithms, substantial bit error rate (BER) performance gains, and a simplified receiver structure, while requiring a much lower complexity. Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) is a prominent nonlinear processing technique employed at the transmit side and is a dual to the successive interference cancelation (SIC) detection at the receive side. Like SIC detection, the performance of THP strongly depends on the ordering of the precoded symbols. The optimal ordering algorithm, however, is impractical for MU-MIMO systems with multiple receive antennas. We propose a multi-branch THP (MB-THP) scheme and algorithms that employ multiple transmit processing and ordering strategies along with a selection scheme to mitigate interference in MU-MIMO systems. Two types of multi-branch THP (MB-THP) structures are proposed. The first one employs a decentralized strategy with diagonal weighted filters at the receivers of the users and the second uses a diagonal weighted filter at the transmitter. The MB-MMSE-THP algorithms are also derived based on an extended system model with the aid of an LQ decomposition, which is much simpler compared to the conventional MMSE-THP algorithms. Simulation results show that a better BER performance can be achieved by the proposed MB-MMSE-THP precoder with a small computational complexity increase

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, 201

Integer-Forcing MIMO Linear Receivers Based on Lattice Reduction

A new architecture called integer-forcing (IF) linear receiver has been recently proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels, wherein an appropriate integer linear combination of the received symbols has to be computed as a part of the decoding process. In this paper, we propose a method based on Hermite-Korkine-Zolotareff (HKZ) and Minkowski lattice basis reduction algorithms to obtain the integer coefficients for the IF receiver. We show that the proposed method provides a lower bound on the ergodic rate, and achieves the full receive diversity. Suitability of complex Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovasz (LLL) lattice reduction algorithm (CLLL) to solve the problem is also investigated. Furthermore, we establish the connection between the proposed IF linear receivers and lattice reduction-aided MIMO detectors (with equivalent complexity), and point out the advantages of the former class of receivers over the latter. For the $2 \times 2$ and $4\times 4$ MIMO channels, we compare the coded-block error rate and bit error rate of the proposed approach with that of other linear receivers. Simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms the zero-forcing (ZF) receiver, minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver, and the lattice reduction-aided MIMO detectors.Comment: 9 figures and 11 pages.

Design and Implementation of Efficient Algorithms for Wireless MIMO Communication Systems

En la última década, uno de los avances tecnológicos más importantes que han hecho culminar la nueva generación de banda ancha inalámbrica es la comunicación mediante sistemas de múltiples entradas y múltiples salidas (MIMO). Las tecnologías MIMO han sido adoptadas por muchos estándares inalámbricos tales como LTE, WiMAS y WLAN. Esto se debe principalmente a su capacidad de aumentar la máxima velocidad de transmisión , junto con la fiabilidad alcanzada y la cobertura de las comunicaciones inalámbricas actuales sin la necesidad de ancho de banda extra ni de potencia de transmisión adicional. Sin embargo, las ventajas proporcionadas por los sistemas MIMO se producen a expensas de un aumento sustancial del coste de implementación de múltiples antenas y de la complejidad del receptor, la cual tiene un gran impacto sobre el consumo de energía. Por esta razón, el diseño de receptores de baja complejidad es un tema importante que se abordará a lo largo de esta tesis. En primer lugar, se investiga el uso de técnicas de preprocesado de la matriz de canal MIMO bien para disminuir el coste computacional de decodificadores óptimos o bien para mejorar las prestaciones de detectores subóptimos lineales, SIC o de búsqueda en árbol. Se presenta una descripción detallada de dos técnicas de preprocesado ampliamente utilizadas: el método de Lenstra, Lenstra, Lovasz (LLL) para lattice reduction (LR) y el algorimo VBLAST ZF-DFE. Tanto la complejidad como las prestaciones de ambos métodos se han evaluado y comparado entre sí. Además, se propone una implementación de bajo coste del algoritmo VBLAST ZF-DFE, la cual se incluye en la evaluación. En segundo lugar, se ha desarrollado un detector MIMO basado en búsqueda en árbol de baja complejidad, denominado detector K-Best de amplitud variable (VB K-Best). La idea principal de este método es aprovechar el impacto del número de condición de la matriz de canal sobre la detección de datos con el fin de disminuir la complejidad de los sistemasRoger Varea, S.

MIMOシステムにおける格子基底縮小を用いた信号検出法及びその応用に関する研究

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology has attracted attention in wireless communications, since it provides signi cant increases in data throughput and the high spectral efficiency. MIMO systems employ multiple antennas at both ends of the wireless link, and hence can increase the data rate by transmitting multiple data streams. To exploit the potential gains o ered by MIMO, signal processing involved in a MIMO receiver requires a large computational complexity in order to achieve the optimal performance. In MIMO systems, it is usually required to detect signals jointly as multiple signals are transmitted through multiple signal paths between the transmitter and the receiver. This joint detection becomes the MIMO detection. The maximum likelihood (ML) detection (MLD) is known as the optimal detector in terms of minimizing bit error rate (BER). However, the complexity of MLD obstructs its practical implementation. The common linear detection such as zero-forcing (ZF) or minimum mean squared error (MMSE) o ers a remarkable complexity reduction with performance loss. The non-linear detection, e.g. the successive interference cancellation (SIC), detects each symbol sequentially withthe aid of cancellation operations which remove the interferences from the received signal. The BER performance is improved by using the SIC, but is still inferior to that of the ML detector with low complexity. Numerous suboptimal detection techniques have been proposed to approximately approach the ML performance with relatively lower complexity, such as sphere detection (SD) and QRM-MLD. To look for suboptimal detection algorithm with near optimal performance and a ordable complexity costs for MIMO gains faces a major challenge. Lattice-reduction (LR) is a promising technique to improve the performance of MIMO detection. The LR makes the column vectors of the channel state information (CSI) matrix close to mutually orthogonal. The following signal estimation of the transmitted signal applies the reduced lattice basis instead of the original lattice basis. The most popular LR algorithm is the well-known LLL algorithm, introduced by Lenstra, Lenstra, and Lov asz. Using this algorithm, the LR aided (LRA) detector achieves more reliable signal estimation and hence good BER performance. Combining the LLL algorithm with the conventional linear detection of ZF or MMSE can further improve the BER performance in MIMO systems, especially the LR-MMSE detection. The non-linear detection i.e. SIC based on LR (LR-SIC) is selected from many detection methods since it features the good BER performance. And ordering SIC based on LR (LR-OSIC) can further improve the BER performance with the costs of the implementation of the ordering but requires high computational complexity. In addition, list detection can also obtain much better performance but with a little high computational cost in terms of the list of candidates. However, the expected performance of the several detections isnot satis ed directly like the ML detector, in particular for the high modulation order or the large size MIMO system. This thesis presents our studies about lattice reduction aided detection and its application in MIMO system. Our studies focus on the evaluation of BER performance and the computational complexity. On the hand, we improve the detection algorithms to achieve the near-ML BER performance. On the other hand, we reduce the complexity of the useless computation, such as the exhaustive tree search. We mainly solve three problems existed in the conventional detection methods as - The MLD based on QR decomposition and M-algorithm (QRMMLD) is one solution to relatively reduce the complexity while retaining the ML performance. The number of M in the conventional QRM-MLD is de ned as the number of the survived branches in each detection layer of the tree search, which is a tradeo between complexity and performance. Furthermore, the value of M should be large enough to ensure that the correct symbols exist in the survived branches under the ill-conditioned channel, in particular for the large size MIMO system and the high modulation order. Hence the conventional QRM-MLD still has the problem of high complexity in the better-conditioned channel. - For the LRA MIMO detection, the detection errors are mainly generated from the channel noise and the quantization errors in the signal estimation stage. The quantization step applies the simple rounding operation, which often leads to the quantization error. If this error occurs in a row of the transmit signal, it has to propagate to many symbols in the subsequent signal estimation and result in degrading the BER performance. The conventional LRA MIMO detection has the quantization problem, which obtains less reliable signal estimation and leads to the BER performance loss. - Ordering the column vectors of the LR-reduced channel matrix brings large improvement on the BER performance of the LRSIC due to decreasing the error propagation. However, the improvement of the LR-OSIC is not su cient to approach the ML performance in the large size MIMO system, such as 8 8 MIMO system. Hence, the LR-OSIC detection cannot achieve the near-ML BER performance in the large size of MIMO system. The aim of our researches focuses on the detection algorithm, which provides near-ML BER performance with very low additional complexity. Therefore, we have produced various new results on low complexity MIMO detection with the ideas of lattice reduction aided detection and its application even for large size MIMO system and high modulation order. Our works are to solve the problems in the conventional MIMO detections and to improve the detection algorithms in the signal estimation. As for the future research, these detection schemes combined with the encoding technique lead to interesting and useful applications in the practical MIMO system or massive MIMO.電気通信大学201

Effi cient algorithms for iterative detection and decoding in Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output Communication Systems

This thesis fits into the Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communication systems. Nowadays, these schemes are the most promising technology in the field of wireless communications. The use of this technology allows to increase the rate and the quality of the transmission through the use of multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver sides. Furthermore, the MIMO technology can also be used in a multiuser scenario, where a Base Station (BS) equipped with several antennas serves several users that share the spatial dimension causing interference. However, employing precoding algorithms the signal of the multiuser interference can be mitigated. For these reasons, the MIMO technology has become an essential key in many new generation communications standards. On the other hand, Massive MIMO technology or Large MIMO, where the BS is equipped with very large number of antennas (hundreds or thousands) serves many users in the same time-frequency resource. Nevertheless, the advantages provided by the MIMO technology entail a substantial increase in the computational cost. Therefore the design of low-complexity receivers is an important issue which is tackled throughout this thesis. To this end, one of the main contributions of this dissertation is the implementation of efficient soft-output detectors and precoding schemes. First, the problem of efficient soft detection with no iteration at the receiver has been addressed. A detailed overview of the most employed soft detectors is provided. Furthermore, the complexity and performance of these methods are evaluated and compared. Additionally, two low-complexity algorithms have been proposed. The first algorithm is based on the efficient Box Optimization Hard Detector (BOHD) algorithm and provides a low-complexity implementation achieving a suitable performance. The second algorithm tries to reduce the computational cost of the Subspace Marginalization with Interference Suppression (SUMIS) algorithm. Second, soft-input soft-output (SISO) detectors, which are included in an iterative receiver structure, have been investigated. An iterative receiver improves the performance with respect to no iteration, achieving a performance close to the channel capacity. In contrast, its computational cost becomes prohibitive. In this context, three algorithms are presented. Two of them achieve max-log performance reducing the complexity of standard SISO detectors. The last one achieves near max-log performance with low complexity. The precoding problem has been addressed in the third part of this thesis. An analysis of some of the most employed precoding techniques has been carried out. The algorithms have been compared in terms of performance and complexity. In this context, the impact of the channel matrix condition number on the performance of the precoders has been analyzed. This impact has been exploited to propose an hybrid precoding scheme that reduces the complexity of the previously proposed precoders. In addition, in Large MIMO systems, an alternative precoder scheme is proposed. In the last part of the thesis, parallel implementations of the SUMIS algorithm are presented. Several strategies for the parallelization of the algorithm are proposed and evaluated on two different platforms: multicore central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU). The parallel implementations achieve a significant speedup compared to the CPU version. Therefore, these implementations allow to simulate a scalable quasi optimal soft detector in a Large MIMO system much faster than by conventional simuLa presente tesis se enmarca dentro de los sistemas de comunicaciones de múltiples antenas o sistemas MIMO. Hoy en día, estos sistemas presentan una de las tecnologías más prometedoras dentro de los sistemas comunicaciones inalámbricas. A través del uso de múltiples antenas en ambos lados, transmisor y receptor, la tasa de transmisión y la calidad de la misma es aumentada. Por otro lado, la tecnología MIMO puede ser utilizada en un escenario multiusuario, donde una estación base (BS) la cual está equipada con varias antenas, sirve a varios usuarios al mismo tiempo, estos usuarios comparten dimensión espacial causando interferencias multiusuario. Por todas estas razones, la tecnología MIMO ha sido adoptada en muchos de los estándares de comunicaciones de nueva generación. Por otro lado, la tecnología MIMO Masivo, en la cual la estación base está equipada con un gran número de antenas (cientos o miles) que sirve a muchos usuarios en el mismo recurso de tiempo-frecuencia. Sin embargo, las ventajas proporcionadas por los sistemas MIMO implican un aumento en el coste computacional requerido. Por ello, el diseño de receptores de baja complejidad es una cuestión importante en estos sistemas. Para conseguir esta finalidad, las principales contribuciones de la tesis se basan en la implementación de algoritmos de detección soft y esquemas de precodificación eficientes. En primer lugar, el problema de la detección soft eficiente en un sistema receptor sin iteración es abordado. Una descripción detallada sobre los detectores soft más empleados es presentada. Por otro lado, han sido propuestos dos algoritmos de bajo coste. El primer algoritmo está basado en el algoritmo Box Optimization Hard Detector (BOHD) y proporciona una baja complejidad de implementación logrando un buen rendimiento. El segundo de los algoritmos propuestos intenta reducir el coste computacional del conocido algoritmo Subspace Marginalization with Interference Suppression (SUMIS). En segundo lugar, han sido investidados detectores de entrada y salida soft (SISO, soft-input soft-output) los cuales son ejecutados en estructuras de recepción iterativa. El empleo de un receptor iterativo mejora el rendimiento del sistema con respecto a no realizar realimentación, pudiendo lograr la capacidad óptima. Por el contrario, el coste computacional se vuelve prohibitivo. En este contexto, tres algoritmos han sido presentados. Dos de ellos logran un rendimiento óptimo, reduciendo la complejidad de los detectores SISO óptimos que normalmente son empleados. Por el contrario, el otro algoritmo logra un rendimiento casi óptimo a baja complejidad. En la tercera parte, se ha abordado el problema de la precodificación. Se ha llevado a cabo un análisis de algunas de las técnicas de precodificación más usadas. En este contexto, se ha evaluado el impacto que el número de condición de la matriz de canal tiene en el rendimiento de los precodificadores. Además, se ha aprovechado este impacto para proponer un precodificador hibrido. Por otro lado, en MIMO Masivo, se ha propuesto un esquema precodificador. En la última parte de la tesis, la implementación paralela del algoritmo SUMIS es presentada. Varias estrategias sobre la paralelización del algoritmo han sido propuestas y evaluadas en dos plataformas diferentes: Unidad Central de Procesamiento multicore (multicore CPU) y Unidad de Procesamiento Gráfico (GPU). Las implementaciones paralelas consiguen una mejora de speedup. Estas implementaciones permiten simular para MIMO Masivo y de forma más rápida que por simulación convencional, un algoLa present tesi s'emmarca dins dels sistemes de comunicacions de múltiples antenes o sistemes MIMO. Avui dia, aquestos sistemes presenten una de les tecnologies més prometedora dins dels sistemes de comunicacions inalàmbriques. A través de l'ús de múltiples antenes en tots dos costats, transmissor y receptor, es pot augmentar la taxa de transmissió i la qualitat de la mateixa. D'altra banda, la tecnologia MIMO es pot utilitzar en un escenari multiusuari, on una estació base (BS) la qual està equipada amb diverses antenes serveix a diversos usuaris al mateix temps, aquests usuaris comparteixen dimensió espacial causant interferències multiusuari. Per totes aquestes raons, la tecnologia MIMO ha sigut adoptada en molts dels estàndars de comunicacions de nova generació. D'altra banda, la tecnologia MIMO Massiu, en la qual l'estació base està equipada amb un gran nombre d'antenes (centenars o milers) que serveix a molts usuaris en el mateix recurs de temps-freqüència. No obstant això, els avantatges proporcionats pels sistemes MIMO impliquen un augment en el cost computacional requerit. Per això, el disseny de receptors de baixa complexitat és una qüestió important en aquests sistemes. Per tal d'aconseguir esta finalitat, les principals contribucions de la tesi es basen en la implementació d'algoritmes de detecció soft i esquemes de precodificació eficients. En primer lloc, és abordat el problema de la detecció soft eficient en un sistema receptor sense interacció. Una descripció detallada dels detectors soft més emprats és presentada. D'altra banda, han sigut proposats dos algorismes de baix cost. El primer algorisme està basat en l'algorisme Box Optimization Hard Decoder (BOHD) i proporciona una baixa complexitat d'implementació aconseguint un bon resultat. El segon dels algorismes proposats intenta reduir el cost computacional del conegut algoritme Subspace Marginalization with Interference Suppression (SUMIS). En segon lloc, detectors d'entrada i eixidia soft (SISO, soft-input soft-output) els cuals són executats en estructures de recepció iterativa han sigut investigats. L'ocupació d'un receptor iteratiu millora el rendiment del sistema pel que fa a no realitzar realimentació, podent aconseguir la capacitat òptima. Per contra, el cost computacional es torna prohibitiu. En aquest context, tres algorismes han sigut presentats. Dos d'ells aconsegueixen un rendiment òptim, reduint la complexitat dels detectors SISO òptims que normalment són emprats. Per contra, l'altre algorisme aconsegueix un rendiment quasi òptim a baixa complexitat. En la tercera part, s'ha abordat el problema de la precodificació. S'ha dut a terme una anàlisi d'algunes de les tècniques de precodificació més usades, prestant especial atenció al seu rendiment i a la seua complexitat. Dins d'aquest context, l'impacte que el nombre de condició de la matriu de canal té en el rendiment dels precodificadors ha sigut avaluat. A més, aquest impacte ha sigut aprofitat per a proposar un precodificador híbrid , amb la finalitat de reduir la complexitat d'algorismes prèviament proposats. D'altra banda, en MIMO Massiu, un esquema precodificador ha sigut proposat. En l'última part, la implementació paral·lela de l'algorisme SUMIS és presentada. Diverses estratègies sobre la paral·lelizació de l'algorisme han sigut proposades i avaluades en dues plataformes diferents: multicore CPU i GPU. Les implementacions paral·leles aconsegueixen una millora de speedup quan el nombre d'àntenes o l'ordre de la constel·lació incrementen. D'aquesta manera, aquestes implementacions permeten simular per a MIMO Massiu, i de forma més ràpida que la simulació convencional.Simarro Haro, MDLA. (2017).
