HIGH PERFORMANCE DETECTION METHOD USING MEMO TECHNOLOGY AND V-BLAST ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the QR-OSIC receiver design for the transmitter side power allocated MIMO system. Based on the properties of the function and ordering results, we develop the efficient ordering algorithms in combination with the PA scheme. From the convexity of the function, we derive the ordering strategy that makes the channel gains converge to their geometric mean. Based on this approach, the fixed ordering algorithm if first designed, for which the geometric mean is used for constant threshold. To further improve the performance, the modified scheme employing adaptive thresholds is developed using the correlation among ordering results. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that proposed ordering schemes using QR-decomposition not only require a reduced computational complexity compared to the conventional scheme, but result in improved error performance.
