Abstract

In this contribution, we present a novel multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection scheme for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The proposed method is based on the slowest descent (SD) method and is suitable for both iterative and non-iterative detectors. Optimal MIMO detection entails maximizing or marginalizing a likelihood function over a very large set of vectors. Similar to other low-complexity detection schemes such as sphere decoding, the SD approach restricts the maximization/marginalization to a small set of candidate vectors. As the size of this set scales linearly with the number of transmit antennas, the SD method bears an exceptionally low complexity. Furthermore, simulation results indicate that the method achieves a close-to-optimal performance, provided that the diversity order is sufficiently high.
