Abstract

A low-complexity MIMO detection scheme is presented that decomposes a MIMO channel into multiple decoupled subsets of streams that can be detected separately. The scheme employs QL decomposition followed by elementary matrix operations to transform the channel matrix into a generalized elementary structure matching the subsets of streams to be detected. The proposed scheme avoids matrix inversion operations, and allows subsets to overlap thus achieving better diversity gain. Simulations demonstrate that this approach performs to within a few tenths of a dB from the optimum detection algorithm.
