An enhanced Jacobi method for lattice-reduction-aided MIMO detection

Abstract

Lattice reduction aided decoding has been successfully used for signal detection in multiinput and multioutput (MIMO) systems and many other wireless communication applications. In this paper, we propose a novel enhanced Jacobi (short as EJacobi) method for lattice basis reduction. To assess the performance of the new EJacobi method, we compared it with the LLL algorithm, a widely used algorithm in wireless communications. Our experimental results show that the EJacobi method is more efficient and produces better results measured by both orthogonality defect and condition number than the LLL algorithm.
