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 and 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. Modified the title, abstract and some parts

Full Diversity Unitary Precoded Integer-Forcing
We consider a point-to-point flat-fading MIMO channel with channel state
information known both at transmitter and receiver. At the transmitter side, a
lattice coding scheme is employed at each antenna to map information symbols to
independent lattice codewords drawn from the same codebook. Each lattice
codeword is then multiplied by a unitary precoding matrix and sent
through the channel. At the receiver side, an integer-forcing (IF) linear
receiver is employed. We denote this scheme as unitary precoded integer-forcing
(UPIF). We show that UPIF can achieve full-diversity under a constraint based
on the shortest vector of a lattice generated by the precoding matrix . This constraint and a simpler version of that provide design criteria for
two types of full-diversity UPIF. Type I uses a unitary precoder that adapts at
each channel realization. Type II uses a unitary precoder, which remains fixed
for all channel realizations. We then verify our results by computer
simulations in , and MIMO using different QAM
constellations. We finally show that the proposed Type II UPIF outperform the
MIMO precoding X-codes at high data rates.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figures, to appear in IEEE-TW
Precoded Integer-Forcing Universally Achieves the MIMO Capacity to Within a Constant Gap
An open-loop single-user multiple-input multiple-output communication scheme
is considered where a transmitter, equipped with multiple antennas, encodes the
data into independent streams all taken from the same linear code. The coded
streams are then linearly precoded using the encoding matrix of a perfect
linear dispersion space-time code. At the receiver side, integer-forcing
equalization is applied, followed by standard single-stream decoding. It is
shown that this communication architecture achieves the capacity of any
Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output channel up to a gap that depends only
on the number of transmit antennas.Comment: to appear in the IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
