چکیده

A novel configurable processor architecture is presented for detecting Spatially Multiplexed (SM) data in a high order (4x4) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems. It is a customized architecture to match an algorithm that provides “soft” values to the Forward Error Decoder (FEC), with systolic-like data and control flow. The processor is able to switch between three different modulation schemes (QPSK, 16-QAM, and 64-QAM) without any configuration latency. Preliminary synthesis results indicate that each detector core uses only about 18 Kilo Gate Equivalent (KGE) in addition to around 1800 storage flip-flops. Multiple detector cores can be stacked to achieve very high throughput in a multi-carrier MIMO system. Moreover, owing to the careful choice of the underlying algorithm the Packet Error Rate (PER) is close to optimal. The processor is very well suited for baseband processing at wireless base-stations and mobile handsets alike.

A Soft-Input Soft-Output Target Detection Algorithm for Passive Radar

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel scheme for multi-static passive radar processing, based on soft-input soft-output processing and Bayesian sparse estimation. In this scheme, each receiver estimates the probability of target presence based on its received signal and the prior information received from a central processor. The resulting posterior target probabilities are transmitted to the c...

Systolic like soft-detection architecture for 4×4 64-QAM MIMO system

MIMO systems (with multiple transmit and receive antennas) are becoming increasingly popular, and many next-generation systems such as WiMAX, 3-GPP LTE and IEEE802.11n wireless LANs rely on the increased throughput of MIMO systems with up to four antennas at receiver and transmitter. High throughput implementation of the detection unit for MIMO systems is a significant challenge especially for ...

A Parallel MCMC-Based MIMO Detector: VLSI Design and Algorithm

Stochastic detection for multi-antenna (MIMO) systems promises communications performance close to max-log detection for certain SNR regimes, especially when the system iterates between detector and channel decoder following the Turbo Principle. In this work, we propose a parallel VLSI architecture for soft-input soft-output Markov chain Monte Carlo based stochastic MIMO detection. It features ...

Semi-blind Channel Estimation and Iterative Detection for MIMO-OFDM Systems

The combination of MIMO and OFDM techniques has been recently explored for providing high speed data communication over fading dispersive channels. Bit interleaved coded modulation (BICM) architecture with iterative detection and decoding techniques (IDD) at the receiver has been found to attain good performance (close to Turbo MIMO) with moderate complexity. The scheme however relies on the av...
