    Complexity Analysis of MMSE Detector Architectures for MIMO OFDM Systems
    (IEEE, 2005-11-01) Myllylä, Markus; Hintikka, Juha-Matti; Cavallaro, Joseph R.; Juntti, Markku; Limingoja, Matti; Byman, Aaron; Center for Multimedia Communication
    In this paper, a field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation of a linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) detector is considered for MIMO-OFDM systems. Two square root free algorithms based on QR decomposition (QRD) are introduced for the implementation of LMMSE detector. Both algorithms are based on QRD via Givens rotations, namely coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) and squared Givens rotation (SGR) algorithms. Linear and triangular shaped array architectures are considered to exploit the parallelism in the computations. An FPGA hardware implementation is presented and computational complexity of each implementation is evaluated and compared.

    Performance Evaluation of Two LMMSE Detectors in a MIMO-OFDM Hardware Testbed
    (IEEE, 2006-11-01) Myllylä, Markus; Juntti, Markku; Limingoja, Matti; Byman, Aaron; Cavallaro, Joseph R.; Center for Multimedia Communication
    The performance of two field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementations of a linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) based detector is evaluated in real-time radio channels. Two square root free algorithms based on the QR decomposition (QRD) via Givens rotations, namely coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) and squared Givens rotation (SGR) algorithms, are applied for the LMMSE detector implementation with pipelined systolic array architectures. The implementations are mapped to Elektrobit 2 x 2 multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) hardware testbed for 4G MIMO systems (EB4G). The presented measurement results are done with a Propsim C8 MIMO channel emulator and compared to the simulated results.
