Abstract

This Chapter briefly evaluates different multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection techniques in the literature as the candidates for the next generation wireless systems. The authors evaluate the associated problems and solutions with these methods. The focus of the chapter is on two categories of MIMO decoding: i) hard detection and ii) soft detection. These techniques significantly increase the capacity of wireless communications systems. Theoretically, a-posteriori probability (APP) MIMO decoder with soft information can achieve the capacity of a MIMO system. A sub-optimum APP detector is proposed for iterative joint detection/decoding in a MIMO wireless communication system employing an outer code. The proposed detector searches inside a given sphere in a parallel manner to simultaneously find a list of m-best points based on an additive metric. The metric is formed by combining the channel output and the a-priori information. The parallel structure of the proposed method is suitable for hardware parallelization. The radius of the sphere and the value of m are selected according to the channel condition to reduce the complexity. Numerical results are provided showing a significant reduction in the average complexity (for a similar performance and peak complexity) as compared to the best earlier known method. This positions the proposed algorithm as a candidate for the next generation wireless systems. The proposed scheme is applied for the decoding of the rate 2, 4 × 2 MIMO code employed in the IEEE 802.16e standard.
