Description
Summary:QR Decompositon with an M-algorithm (QRD-M) has good performance with low complexity, which is considered as a promising technique in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) detections. This paper presented a simplified QRD-M algorithm for MIMO Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems. In the proposed scheme, each surviving path is expanded only to partial branches in order to carry out a limited tree search. The nodes are expanded on demand and sorted in a distributed manner, based on the novel expansion scheme which can pre-determine the children's ascending order by their local distances. Consequently, the proposed scheme can significantly decrease the complexity compared with conventional QRD-M algorithm. Hence, it is especially attractive to VLSI implementation of the high-throughput MIMO-OFDM systems. Simulation results prove that the proposed scheme can achieve a performance very close to the conventional QRD-M algorithm.
