RECURSIVE QR DECOMPOSITION ARCHITECTURE FOR MIMO-OFDM DETECTION SYSTEMS

摘要

This paper presents a modified implementation of QR decomposition for multiple input multiple output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) detection based on the Givens rotation method. The QR decomposition hardware is constructed using the coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) algorithm operating with fewer gate counts and lower power consumption than do triangular systolic array (TSA) structures. Accurate signal transmission is essential to wireless communication systems. Thus, a more effective data detection algorithm and precise channel estimation method play vital roles in MIMO systems. Implementing data detection with QR decomposition helps reduce the complexity of MIMO-OFDM detection. Implementation results reveal that the proposed recursive QR decomposition
