A low-complexity VLSI architecture for square root MIMO detection

Guo, Zhan LU and Nilsson, Peter LU (2003) IASTED International Conference on Circuits, Signals and Systems, 2003 p.304-309
Abstract
Low-complexity VLSI (very large scale integration) architecture of the square root algorithm is proposed for MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) detection. As a modification to the traditional QR triangular array based architecture, the proposed architecture significantly reduces the area and power consumption with virtually no performance or throughput degradation. The finite word length effects specific to the architecture are analyzed considering trade-offs between the performance and the hardware cost. The proposed VLSI architecture is implemented on a VirtexE series Xilinx FPGA (field programmable gate arrays). For a 4-transmit and 4-receive antennas MIMO system using QPSK (quarter phase-shift keying) modulation scheme, a detecting... (More)
