Reduced-complexity soft STBC detection

Reduced-complexity soft STBC detection
Reduced-complexity soft STBC detection
In this paper, we propose to reduce the complexity of both the Approx-Log-MAP algorithm as well as of the Max-Log-MAP algorithm, which were designed for soft-decision-aided Space-Time Block Code (STBC) detectors. First of all, we review the STBC design, which enables regular L-PSK/QAM detectors to be invoked in order to detect STBCs on a symbol-by-symbol basis. Secondly, we propose to operate the L-PSK/QAM aided STBC detection on a bit-by-bit basis, so that the complexity may be reduced from the order of O(L) to O(BPS). Our simulation results demonstrate that a near-capacity performance may be achieved by the proposed detectors at a substantially reduced detection complexity. For example, a factor six complexity reduction was achieved by the proposed algorithms, when they were invoked for detecting Alamouti's Square 16QAM aided G2 scheme.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose to reduce the complexity of both the Approx-Log-MAP algorithm as well as of the Max-Log-MAP algorithm, which were designed for soft-decision-aided Space-Time Block Code (STBC) detectors. First of all, we review the STBC design, which enables regular L-PSK/QAM detectors to be invoked in order to detect STBCs on a symbol-by-symbol basis. Secondly, we propose to operate the L-PSK/QAM aided STBC detection on a bit-by-bit basis, so that the complexity may be reduced from the order of O(L) to O(BPS). Our simulation results demonstrate that a near-capacity performance may be achieved by the proposed detectors at a substantially reduced detection complexity. For example, a factor six complexity reduction was achieved by the proposed algorithms, when they were invoked for detecting Alamouti's Square 16QAM aided G2 scheme.
