This paper presents a VLSI architecture for the suboptimal hard-output Vertical-Bell Laboratories Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) algorithm in the context of Spatial Multiplexing Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (SM-MIMO) systems immersed in Rayleigh fading channels. The design and implementation of its corresponding data-path and control-path components over FPGA devices are considered. Results on synthesis, bit error rate performance, and data throughput are reported.

Self-encoded spread spectrum (SESS) is a novel communication technique that derives its spreading code from the randomness of the source stream rather than using conventional pseudorandom noise (PN) code. In this paper, we propose to incorporate SESS in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems as a means to combat against fading effects in wireless channels. Orthogonal space-time block-coded MIMO technique is employed to achieve spatial diversity, and the inherent temporal diversity in SESS modulation is exploited with iterative detection. Simulation results demonstrate that MIMO-SESS can effectively mitigate the channel fading effect such that the system can achieve a bit error rate of with very low signal-to-noise ratio, from 3.3 dB for a antenna configuration to just less than 0 dB for a configuration under Rayleigh fading. The performance improvement for the case is as much as 6.7 dB when compared to an MIMO PN-coded spread spectrum system.

Detecting the presence of a valid signal is an important task of a telecommunication receiver. When the receiver is unable to detect the presence of a valid signal, due to noise and fading, it is referred to as an erasure. This work deals with the probability of erasure computation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signals used by multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. The theoretical results are validated by computer simulations. OFDM is widely used in present day wireless communication systems due to its ability to mitigate intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by frequency selective fading channels. MIMO systems offer the advantage of spatial multiplexing, resulting in increased bit-rate, which is the main requirement of the recent wireless standards like 5G and beyond.

Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) system improves performance as well as the capacity of the wireless system. The use of large number of antennas in a MIMO system increases the hardware complexities and also its price. To overcome this, MIMO systems that activate single transmit antenna at a time, namely transmit antenna selection (TAS) is considered in this paper. Selection combining (SC) and Maximal ratio combining (MRC) are carried out at the receiver over    fading channels. Expressions for outage probability and average bit error rate (ABER) are derived considering TAS/SC as well as TAS/MRC MIMO systems. All the derived expressions are validated by Monte-Carlo simulation results.

The transmission of several signals and reception of those signals, it requires the implementation of multiple transmitters at the transmitter side and the multiple receivers at the receiver side. This type of system is called multiple input multiple output (M.I.M.O) system. The M.I.M.O systems will result in obtaining the better use of the available spectrum for transmissions of the different signals in the same spectrum and this makes the M.I.M.O systems most dependable for the wireless communications. But the presence of several signals in the same bandwidth of spatial multiplexing matrix in M.I.M.O systems makes it difficult for the signal to get detected at the receiver end. There are plenty of techniques introduced to avoid the difficulty in sensing the signal at receiver in M.I.M.O systems. In this paper we will be discussing about the signal detection technique called minimum mean square error technique (MMSE) which uses the inversion of the matrix to retrieve the signal and the iteration-based method that is an improvised technique than MMSE technique where the matrix inversion step is avoided and provides better results. The results are obtained by plotting the bit error rate versus the signal to nose ratio using MATLAB

Since the capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems increases linearly with the minimum number of antennas at both, the transmitter as well as the receiver side, MIMO schemes have attracted a lot of attention. However, non-frequency selective MIMO links have reached a state of maturity. By contrast, frequency selective MIMO links require substantial further research, leading in this contribution to a joint optimization of the number of activated MIMO layers and the number of bits per symbol along with the appropriate allocation of the transmit power under the constraint of a given fixed data throughput. Our results show that in order to achieve the best possible bit-error rate, not necessarily all MIMO layers have to be activated. .

Abstract This paper presents a technique for obtaining a well-conditioned channel matrix in a line of sight multiple input multiple output (MIMO) environment. The technique is based on the implementation of a back-to-back antenna system as a passive repeater to enhance performance in MIMO systems. The flexible configuration with no need for a phase controller allows to spread the proposed repeater in MIMO communications to ensure spatial multiplexing and enhance capacity. A condition number and matrix rank are proposed as metrics to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
