An Improved K-Best Detector for MIMO WLAN Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The maximum likelihood (ML) detection is the optimal detection method for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. The normal K-best Sphere Decoding Algorithm (SDA) can guarantee a fixed throughput, but it induces a large bit error rate (BER) degradation. In order to achieve close-to-ML performance, the K value needs to be sufficiently large. Thus, it needs large computation with long latency and low throughput. In this paper, an improved K-best SDA is proposed by using fixed K values for different layers of K-best detection, which can increase the MIMO detection performance. The architecture of 4×4 MIMO detector is designed for both 16QAM and 64QAM modulation.

A Low-Power Adaptive MIMO Detector for MIMO-OFDM WLAN Systems
A MIMO-OFDM receiver requests high-speed MIMO detection to separate spatially multiplexed signals on real-time processing, which causes large power dissipation due to its high throughput performance. We present an adaptive MIMO detector which adaptively changes the computational speed of MIMO detection by estimating Doppler shifts correlated with fading channel variations. The adaptive detector...
