Efficient Design of MIMO solutions for Software Defined Radio
|
|
Increasing the spectral efficiency of wireless communication have been an area of active research over the last years. MIMO communication is still one of the most important techniques available to increase the spatial reuse and hence spectral efficiency. While advanced MIMO algorithms exist, the use of MIMO techniques in existing wireless solutions is typically limited. Most of the existing MIMO solutions are very impractical to implement, and for those that are implementation-aware, it is very difficult to select the appropriate algorithm taking into the MIMO requirements of the application, standard, user equipment category. Matching the algorithm to the hardware requires detailed knowledge of both computer architecture and digital signal processing. The goal of this research is to propose a class of MIMO algorithms that are implementation aware and scalable. Next, it will be researched how multiple instances can be derived based on an SDR template, to achieve optimized MIMO solutions for different standards or user equipment categories. This would facilitate efficient design of MIMO solutions for SDR. This research is an extension of the pre-doc work, where a class of scalable algorithms for a MIMO detector has been proposed, and instantiated for a specific SDR instance available in the wireless group at imec.
