Abstract:

Aiming at the high complexity of non-linear combined quantization caused by constellation biased distribution in lattice reduction aided(LRA) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) detection, a sorted feedback non-linear quantization scheme is proposed. It considers the border of transformed constellation and the correlations between elements, meanwhile, the element is selected to be quantized according to the value of the quantization errors. Simulation shows that the performance of LRA MIMO detection based on this quantization scheme is superior to the performance of LRA MIMO detection based on non-sorted feedback and independent element quantization. Furthermore, the LRA MIMO detection based on the proposed scheme can approach the performance of maximum likelihood detection in polynomial complexity in a flat fading channel.
