Capacity and QoS based codebook construction for MIMO precoded spatial multiplexing systems with limited feedback

This paper deals with the design and performance analysis of transmit precoder optimization for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems with limited feedback of channel state information. A capacity criterion based optimal codebook construction algorithm for MIMO precoded spatial multiplexing systems is pre-sented. The optimal precoder structure combining precoding and power allocation is employed. Simulation results show that the capacity criteria based codebook can achieve higher capacity than that of equally power allocation based codebook of previous research.     

A Novel Iterative Receiver Based on Extrinsic Information Update for MIMO Systems

A novel iterative receiver for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems was introduced. Its basis concept is that the reliability of extrinsic information will be strengthened with continuous iterations. Extrinsic information of present iteration is added with prior information of last iteration to obtain performance gain. The simulation results show that the improved iterative receiver can approach the 5th iteration performance of conventional soft interference cancellation (SIC)-minimum mean square error (MMSE) iterative receiver after the 2nd iteration with less computational complexity. Compared with conventional iterative receiver, the improved iterative receiver has 1dB performance gain at bit error rate (BER) of 10~ -5 , with four transmit antennas and four receive antennas system.     

Lattice reduction aided MMSE Tomlinson-Harashima precoding based on VBLAST algorithm for MIMO systems

A lattice reduction aided （LRA） minimum mean square error （MMSE） Tomlinson-Harashima precoding （THP） was proposed based on vertical Bell Labs layered space time （VBLAST） algorithm for multiple input multiple output （MIMO） systems. The extended channel was used to provide optimal tradeoff between residual interference and noise amplification. The processing based on lattice reduction method helps achieve maximal diversity order. The VBLAST algorithm was applied to get the optimal processing ordering for successive interference cancellation （SIC） at transmitter. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional THP and the LRA zero-forcing （ZF） THP with full diversity order.     

Improved List Sphere Decoder for Multiple Antenna Systems

An improved list sphere decoder （ILSD） is proposed based on the conventional list sphere decoder （LSD） and the reduced- complexity maximum likelihood sphere-decoding algorithm. Unlike the conventional LSD with fixed initial radius, the ILSD adopts an adaptive radius to accelerate the list cdnstruction. Characterized by low-complexity and radius-insensitivity, the proposed algorithm makes iterative joint detection and decoding more realizable in multiple-antenna systems. Simulation results show that computational savings of ILSD over LSD are more apparent with more transmit antennas or larger constellations, and with no performance degradation. Because the complexity of the ILSD algorithm almost keeps invariant with the increasing of initial radius, the BER performance can be improved by selecting a sufficiently large radius.     

PIC-MF-based Iterative Receiver for Multiuser Space Frequency Block Coding Systems

A novel low-complexity iterative receiver for multiuser space frequency block coding (SFBC) system was proposed in this paper. Unlike the conventional linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector, which requires matrix inversion at each iteration, the soft-in soft-out (SISO) detector is simply a parallel interference cancellation (PIC)-matched filter (MF) operation. The probability density function (PDF) of PIC-MF detector output is approximated as Gaussian, whose variance is calculated with a priori information fed back from the channel decoder. With this approximation, the log likelihood ratios (LLRs) of transmitted bits are under-estimated. Then the LLRs are multiplied by a constant factor to achieve a performance gain. The constant factor is optimized according to extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart of the SISO detector. Simulation results show that the proposed iterative receiver can significantly improve the system performance and converge to the matched filter bound (MFB) with low computational complexity at high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).
