On fast preprocessing schemes for the real‐valued spatially multiplexed MIMO detectors

Abstract

SUMMARYMultiple‐input and multiple‐output detectors may rely on the complex and real signal models, yielding complex detectors for quadrature amplitude modulated signals and real detectors for pulse amplitude modulated signals, respectively. It is well‐known that the complex and real maximum likelihood detectors are equivalent. But relying on both the conventional real and pairwise real models, we show in this paper that some of the suboptimal real detectors are equivalent to their counterpart complex detectors, whereas some are not. The equivalence between the complex and pairwise real detectors also leads us to develop fast preprocessing algorithms for the real ordered successive interference cancelation and tree search detectors. Finally, we show that the preprocessing computations required by the equivalent suboptimal complex and pairwise real detectors are of the same complexity. When some practical preprocessing criteria are used, the real detectors may not detect the PAM signals in the pairwise manner. Such non‐pairwise real detectors outperform their counterpart complex detectors at the cost of higher preprocessing complexity. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Zero‐forcing and codebook based beamforming scheme for practical usage of multiuser MIMO‐OFDM with uplink channel sounding

“…The concept of the single user multiple input multiple output (MIMO) has been expanded to the multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO) for enhancement of capacity and flexibility with limited number of antennas at the receiver, and the MU-MIMO system has been already accepted in various wireless standards [1][2][3][4]. The MU-MIMO system is capable of achieving very high throughput efficiently by transmitting, possibly, N T streams to the N T chosen users simultaneously over the same time and frequency resources.…”

“…In mobile communications, MIMO-OFDM has attracted much attention because of its ability to provide high data rate and reliable communications. MIMO-OFDM can offer significant communication capability over multipath fading channels with the aid of the OFDM technique [1], and the use of multiple antennae enables spatial multiplexing [2,3]. In MIMO-OFDM systems, a pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) method has been widely used to predict the state of wireless channel using known set of training symbols [4,5].…”
