Low-Complexity Symbol Detector for MIMO-OFDM-Based Wireless LANs

In this brief, a low-complexity hardware architecture for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol detectors with two transmit and two receive antennas is proposed. The detectors support two MIMO-OFDM schemes of space-frequency block coded OFDM and space-division multiplexing OFDM in order to achieve higher performance and throughput. However, symbol detection processes for these two schemes have high computational complexity, which is a burden to hardware implementation of MIMO-OFDM symbol detectors. In order to reduce complexity, the proposed symbol detector is designed with shared architecture, where similar functional blocks are merged and share the hardware resources, and results in the reduction of logic gates by 34% over a conventional architecture employing two individual detectors

An efficient space-frequency coded OFDM system for broadband wireless communications

We propose an efficient space-frequency coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system for high-speed transmission over wireless links. The analytical expression for the pairwise probability of the proposed space-frequency coded OFDM system is derived in slow, space- and frequency-selective fading channels. The design criteria of trellis codes used in the proposed system are then developed and discussed. It is shown that the proposed space-frequency coded OFDM can efficiently achieve the full diversity provided by the fading channel with low trellis complexity, while for traditional space-frequency coded OFDM systems, we need to design space-time trellis codes with high trellis complexity to exploit the maximum achievable diversity order. The capacity properties of space-frequency coded OFDM over multipath fading channels are also studied. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the significant performance improvement obtained by the proposed space-frequency coded OFDM scheme, as well as the excellent outage capacity properties.     

Approaching MIMO-OFDM Capacity with Per-Antenna Power and Rate Feedback

This paper presents power-efficient transmission schemes for the multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) block-fading channel under the assumption that the channel during each fading block is known perfectly at the receiver, but is unavailable at the transmitter. Based on the well-known vertical Bell Labs layered space-time (V-BLAST) architecture that employs independent encoding for each transmit antenna and successive decoding at the receiver, this paper presents a per-antenna-based power and rate feedback scheme, termed the "closed-loop" V- BLAST, for which the receiver jointly optimizes the power and rate assignments for all transmit antennas, and then returns them to the transmitter via a low-rate feedback channel. The power and rate optimization minimizes the total transmit power for support of an aggregate transmission rate during each fading block. Convex optimization techniques are used to design efficient algorithms for optimal power and rate allocation. The proposed algorithms are also modified to incorporate practical system constraints on feedback complexity and on modulation and coding. Furthermore, this paper shows that the per-antenna-based power and rate control can be readily modified to combine with the conventional linear MIMO transmit preceding technique as an efficient and capacity-approaching partial-channel-feedback scheme. Simulation results show that the closed-loop V-BLAST is able to approach closely the MIMO-OFDM channel capacity assuming availability of perfect channel knowledge at both the transmitter and the receiver.     

A New High Rate Differential Space-Time-Frequency Modulation for MIMO-OFDM

In this paper, we propose a new differential space-time-frequency （DSTF） modulation for MIMOOFDM system with four transmit-antennas and arbitrary receive-antennas, which can improve the transmission rate since it can adopt high order quadrature amplitude modulation （QAM） modulation. Our proposed DSTF scheme embeds some full diversity full rate （FDFR） quasi-orthogonal space-time codes （QOSTBC） with QAM modulation into the frequency intervals and adopts the differential modulation in both time and frequency domains. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed DSTF scheme can improve transmission rate greatly. Compared with the conventional differential unitary space-time modulation （DUSTM）, it can get better transmission performance in high transmission rate for MIMO-OFDM system.

Impact of the propagation environment on the performance of space-frequency coded MIMO-OFDM

Previous work on space-frequency coded multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) has been restricted to idealistic propagation conditions. In this paper, using a broadband MIMO channel model taking into account Ricean K-factor, transmit and receive angle spread, and antenna spacing, we study the impact of the propagation environment on the performance of space-frequency coded MIMO-OFDM. For a given space-frequency code, we quantify the achievable diversity order and coding gain as a function of the propagation parameters. We find that while the presence of spatial receive correlation affects all space-frequency codes equally, spatial fading correlation at the transmit array can result in widely varying performance losses. High-rate space-frequency codes such as spatial multiplexing are typically significantly more affected by transmit correlation than low-rate codes such as space-frequency block codes. We show that in the MIMO Ricean case the presence of frequency-selectivity typically results in improved performance compared to the frequency-flat case.     

Joint channel estimation and turbo equalisation for MIMO-OFDM-IM systems

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communications are frequently employed to improve the transmitted data rate and the link quality. Index modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM-IM) improves the error rate performance and the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) compared with those of the conventional OFDM system due to the activation of partial subcarriers. The MIMO OFDM-IM can transmit additional information bits via the indices of active subcarriers. Also, in order to reduce the transmission power of the OFDM system, the MIMO OFDM-IM scheme can be employed to approach the demanded data transmission rate and the error rate performance. Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing index modulation (MIMO-OFDM-IM) is an effective multicarrier transmission scheme and can be proposed as an alternative to conventional MIMO-OFDM system. In this scheme, OFDM-IM is combined with MIMO transmission to take the benefits of these two techniques. In this paper, we propose a joint channel estimation and turbo equalisation receiver for MIMO-OFDM-IM system. Some simulation examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed receiver.
