A novel method to significantly reduce the complexity of real-time hardware/software implementations of MSGRbased matrix inversion for MIMO wireless communication systems is presented. It is shown, through extensive simulation of this new technique within a T-BLAST MIMO system, that removing the scale-factor from the MSGR algorithm has no adverse effect on the bit-error rate performance of this practical application. Moreover, this new modification to the MSGR algorithm reduces the number of multiply and divide operations in MSGR-based matrix inversion by 18-19%. Furthermore, it is shown that reduced-precision fixed-point arithmetic may be exploited to further reduce the complexity of the implementation while maintaining acceptable bit-error rate performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
