    摘要: Spatial Multiplexing (SM) with Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is used in many communication systems for providing high data rates. While SM-MIMO is a powerful technique for increasing the data rate and bandwidth efficiency, the decoders for SM-MIMO are highly complex. The complexity grows exponentially for optimum decoders as the number of multiplexed layers in SM-MIMO increases. Many reduced complexity suboptimal methods are used in practice that have close to optimum performance but they remain highly complex causing high power consumption which is not desirable for battery operated client terminals. Due to the parallel architecture of many of the SM-MIMO decoders, they involve computations that may eventually turn out to be redundant. A method and apparatus may include identifying and eliminating potentially redundant computations in SM-MIMO decoders based on the technique referred herein as precomputation. The removal of redundant computations enables reduced power consumption for SM-MIMO decoders.

    摘要: Systems and methods for detecting data in a multiple input/multiple output signal. The method includes receiving a first signal associated with a first data value and a second signal associated with a second data value. A distance value between the received second signal and each possible second data value is calculated. Coordinates for a hypothetical first signal in light of a first possible second data value are calculated, and the first coordinate value is quantized to a nearest constellation point. A distance value between the received second signal and each possible second data value is calculated using the calculated constellation points. A determination is made of a log-likelihood ratio based on the determined distance values.

    摘要: Systems and methods related to improved coherent demodulation and, in particular, improved channel equalization that accounts for variation in an effective channel estimation error with transmitted symbols are disclosed. In one embodiment, a wireless node includes a receiver front-end, a channel estimator, and an equalizer. The receiver front-end is adapted to output samples of a received signal. The channel estimator is adapted to estimate a channel between a transmitter of the received signal and the wireless node based on the samples of the received signal. The equalizer is adapted to process the samples of the received signal according to a modified equalization scheme that compensates for variation in an effective channel estimation error with transmitted symbols to thereby provide corresponding bit or symbol decisions. In this manner, channel equalization is improved, particularly for a wireless system that utilizes a modulation scheme with varying amplitude.
