Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology in combination with channel coding technique is a promising solution for reliable high data rate transmission in future wireless communication systems. However, these technologies pose significant challenges for the design of an iterative receiver. In this paper, an efficient receiver combining soft-input soft-output (SISO) detection based on low-complexity K-Best (LC-K-Best) decoder with various forward error correction codes, namely, LTE turbo decoder and LDPC decoder, is investigated. We first investigate the convergence behaviors of the iterative MIMO receivers to determine the required inner and outer iterations. Consequently, the performance of LC-K-Best based receiver is evaluated in various LTE channel environments and compared with other MIMO detection schemes. Moreover, the computational complexity of the iterative receiver with different channel coding techniques is evaluated and compared with different modulation orders and coding rates. Simulation results show that LC-K-Best based receiver achieves satisfactory performance-complexity trade-offs.

In order to apply sphere decoding algorithm in multiple-input multiple-output communication systems and to make it feasible for real-time applications, its computational complexity should be decreased. To achieve this goal, this paper provides some useful insights into the effect of initial and the final sphere radii and estimating them effortlessly. It also discusses practical ways of initiating the algorithm properly and terminating it before the normal end of the process as well as the cost of these methods. Besides, a novel algorithm is introduced which utilizes the presented techniques according to a threshold factor which is defined in terms of the number of transmit antennas and the noise variance. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm offers a desirable performance and reasonable complexity satisfying practical constraints.

Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is powerfulin enhancing communication capacity or reliance. The IEEE802.11n standard defines use of four spatial streams in spatial division multiplexing (SDM). The task group of IEEE802.11ac will extend it to eight spatial streams. We present an 88 MIMOOFDM baseband transceiver compatible with the IEEE802.11ac specification. Two 88 MMSE MIMO detectors based on Streassen’s matrix inversion have been designed for real-time MIMO detection. To demonstrate MIMO-OFDM transmission, we have prototyped a FPGA-based testbed in 22 MIMOOFDM for field experiment and video transmission.

The combination of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signal processing with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technique is one favored solution in wireless communication systems for enhancing data rate. However, the computational complexity is also linear increased with the number of data streams. Generally, multiple finite impulse response (FIR) interpolations and decimations are added to solve the multiple data streams in a MIMO OFDM system, which cause a large increase in the hardware cost. In this paper, two multipath pipelined polyphase structures for FIR interpolation and decimation to efficiently deal with the simultaneous multiple data streams are proposed. According to the proposed structures, M simultaneous data streams can be supported in the M-component polyphase interpolation or decimation with only one set of computation units. Implementation examples show that up to 56% reduction of silicon area can be obtained over the traditional polyphase structures.

A MIMO-OFDM wireless communication technique possesses several advantages accrued from combining MIMO and OFDM techniques such as increased channel capacity and improved BER performance. This has made the technique very amiable to current and future generations of communication systems for high data-rate transmission. However, the technique also inherits the high PAPR problem associated with OFDM signals—a problem still requiring a practical solution. This work proposes a PAPR reduction algorithm for solving the problem of high PAPR in MIMO-OFDM systems. The proposed method uses a low-complexity signal mixing concept to combine the original transmit signal and a generated peak-cancelling signal. The computational complexity of the proposed method is O(M) , which is very much less than O(N log2 N) of the FFT algorithms. This is because M, which denotes the number of nonzero peakcancelling samples, is much less than N, the FFT window size. The proposed method was found to achieve high PAPR reductions while utilizing only a few nonzero peak-cancelling samples and it does not significantly change the power of the transmitted signal. For example, with M=5% of 256-point IFFT samples, corresponding to a data rate loss of 4.8%, a large PAPR reduction of 5.9 dB could be achieved at a small power loss of 0.09 dB. Compared with other methods proposed in literature, the proposed method was found to outperform them in terms of PAPR reductions and BER performance.

The hardware complexity of the analog Self-Interference (SI) canceler in conventional full duplex Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) designs mostly scales with the number of transmit and receive antennas, thus exploiting the benefits of analog cancellation becomes impractical for full duplex MIMO transceivers, even for a moderate number of antennas. In this paper, we provide an overview of two recent hardware architectures for the analog canceler comprising of reduced number of cancellation elements, compared to the state of the art, and simple multiplexers for efficient signal routing among the transceiver radio-frequency chains. The one architecture is based on analog taps and the other on AUXiliary (AUX) Transmitters (TXs). In contrast to the available analog cancellation architectures, the values for each tap or each AUX TX and the configuration of the multiplexers are jointly designed with the digital transceiver beamforming filters according to desired performance objectives. We present a general optimization framework for the joint design of analog SI cancellation and digital beamforming, and detail an example algorithmic solution for the sum-rate optimization objective. Our representative computer simulation results demonstrate the superiority, both in terms of hardware complexity and achievable performance, of the presented low complexity full duplex MIMO schemes over the relative available ones in the literature. We conclude the paper with a discussion on recent simultaneous transmit and receive operations capitalizing on the presented architectures, and provide a list of open challenges and research directions for future FD MIMO communication systems, as well as their promising applications.

The multipath phenomenon is a major factor that is continually affected negatively the performance of wireless communication systems. Since the receiver gets different copies of the transmitted signal from various paths at different times. Consequently, destructive or constructive interference can occur. Therefore, the performance of wireless communication systems is poor in term of bit error rate. This phenomenon can be taken as an advantage if the multiple – input – multiple – output antenna systems are employed at both transmitter and receiver sides (antenna diversity) to improve the bit error rate performance. This paper focuses on the combination of multipath forward error correction diversity technique with vertical-Bell laboratories layered space-time coding. This will lead to enhance the bit error rate in wireless communication systems. The proposed system used Rayleigh and additive white Gaussian noise as two different channel models. The multipath forward error correction diversity technique treats the multipath propagated signals as unessential copies, to utilise them to enhance the bit error rate limitation in the multiple – input – multiple – output systems. The simulation results showed that the performance of the proposed system can be gradually improved by increasing the number of utilised multipath signals in the multipath forward error correction diversity technique
