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
Decoding by Sampling: A Randomized Lattice Algorithm for Bounded Distance Decoding
Despite its reduced complexity, lattice reduction-aided decoding exhibits a
widening gap to maximum-likelihood (ML) performance as the dimension increases.
To improve its performance, this paper presents randomized lattice decoding
based on Klein's sampling technique, which is a randomized version of Babai's
nearest plane algorithm (i.e., successive interference cancelation (SIC)). To
find the closest lattice point, Klein's algorithm is used to sample some
lattice points and the closest among those samples is chosen. Lattice reduction
increases the probability of finding the closest lattice point, and only needs
to be run once during pre-processing. Further, the sampling can operate very
efficiently in parallel. The technical contribution of this paper is two-fold:
we analyze and optimize the decoding radius of sampling decoding resulting in
better error performance than Klein's original algorithm, and propose a very
efficient implementation of random rounding. Of particular interest is that a
fixed gain in the decoding radius compared to Babai's decoding can be achieved
at polynomial complexity. The proposed decoder is useful for moderate
dimensions where sphere decoding becomes computationally intensive, while
lattice reduction-aided decoding starts to suffer considerable loss. Simulation
results demonstrate near-ML performance is achieved by a moderate number of
samples, even if the dimension is as high as 32
Optimal Lattice-Reduction Aided Successive Interference Cancellation for MIMO Systems
In this letter, we investigated the optimal minimummean-squared-error (MMSE) based successive interference cancellation (SIC) strategy designed for lattice-reduction aided multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detectors. For the sake of generating the MMSE-based MIMO symbol estimate at each SIC detection stage, we model the so-called effective symbols generated with the aid of lattice-reduction as joint Gaussian distributed random variables. However, after lattice-reduction, the effective symbols become correlated and exhibit a non-zero mean. Hence, we derive the optimal MMSE SIC detector, which updates the mean and variance of the effective symbols at each SIC detection stage. As a result, the proposed detector achieves a better performance compared to its counterpart dispensing with updating the mean and variance, and performs close to the maximum likelihood detector.

Achieving a vanishing SNR-gap to exact lattice decoding at a subexponential complexity
The work identifies the first lattice decoding solution that achieves, in the
general outage-limited MIMO setting and in the high-rate and high-SNR limit,
both a vanishing gap to the error-performance of the (DMT optimal) exact
solution of preprocessed lattice decoding, as well as a computational
complexity that is subexponential in the number of codeword bits. The proposed
solution employs lattice reduction (LR)-aided regularized (lattice) sphere
decoding and proper timeout policies. These performance and complexity
guarantees hold for most MIMO scenarios, all reasonable fading statistics, all
channel dimensions and all full-rate lattice codes.
In sharp contrast to the above manageable complexity, the complexity of other
standard preprocessed lattice decoding solutions is shown here to be extremely
high. Specifically the work is first to quantify the complexity of these
lattice (sphere) decoding solutions and to prove the surprising result that the
complexity required to achieve a certain rate-reliability performance, is
exponential in the lattice dimensionality and in the number of codeword bits,
and it in fact matches, in common scenarios, the complexity of ML-based
solutions. Through this sharp contrast, the work was able to, for the first
time, rigorously quantify the pivotal role of lattice reduction as a special
complexity reducing ingredient.
Finally the work analytically refines transceiver DMT analysis which
generally fails to address potentially massive gaps between theory and
practice. Instead the adopted vanishing gap condition guarantees that the
decoder's error curve is arbitrarily close, given a sufficiently high SNR, to
the optimal error curve of exact solutions, which is a much stronger condition
than DMT optimality which only guarantees an error gap that is subpolynomial in
SNR, and can thus be unbounded and generally unacceptable in practical
settings.Comment: 16 pages - submission for IEEE Trans. Inform. Theor
Interference cancellation assisted lattice-reduction aided detection for MIMO systems
In this paper, we proposed and investigated the optimal successive interference cancellation (SIC) strategy designed for lattice-reduction-aided multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detectors. For the sake of generating the optimal MIMO symbol estimate at each SIC detection stage, we model the so-called effective symbols generated with the aid of lattice-reduction as joint Gaussian distributed random variables. However, after lattice-reduction, the effective symbols become correlated and exhibit a non-zero mean. Hence, we derive the optimal minimum-mean-squared-error (MMSE) SIC detector, which updates the mean and variance of the effective symbols at each SIC detection stage. As a result, the proposed detector achieves an approximately 3 dB Eb/N0 gain and performs close to the maximum likelihood detector
