Minimum symbol error rate multiuser detection using an effective invasive weed optimization for MIMO/SDMA–OFDM system

Abstract

SUMMARY Space division multiple access–orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system has become a potential wireless communication system by offering high spectral efficiency, performance and capacity. This article deals with minimum symbol error rate (MSER)‐based multiuser detection (MUD) technique for the space division multiple access–orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system using an efficient invasive weed optimization (IWO) algorithm. The IWO algorithm is used for finding optimal weights such that the probability of error is directly minimized rather than minimizing the mean square error. Because of this, the MSER MUD is able to detect users even in overload scenario, where the number of users is more than the number of receiving antennas, unlike several classical detection techniques. The IWO is inspired from the nature of invasive colonization of weeds and relatively simple compared with other optimization techniques. The bit error rate performance of the proposed IWO‐aided MSER MUD is found to be better than minimum means square error and differential evolution algorithm‐aided MSER MUDs. Simulation results show that the proposed IWO MSER achieves faster convergence and lower complexity compared with the differential evolution MSER MUD. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Precoded Large Scale Multi‐User‐MIMO System Using Likelihood Ascent Search for Signal Detection

“…The point‐to‐point MIMO communication system was well‐explained in the literature (K. Bagadi & S. Das, 2013). Researchers have recently moved their focus to large‐scale multi‐user MIMO (MU‐MIMO) systems in order to address the enormous demand for high data rates (K. Bagadi & S. Das, 2014). MU‐MIMO is a multi‐data transmission system that allows the base station (BS) to deploy a huge array of antennas (fewer than hundreds) while the user equipment (UE) only uses a small number of antennas (K. P. Bagadi et al., 2016).…”

Approach in companding‐quantisation‐inspired PAM constellation design

“…Besides this, the quadrature AM (QAM) can be realised through the generation of two PAM signals. This also increases the significance of researches on PAM constellation since it is known that QAM modulation is widely used in the space division multiple access-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing communication systems [24,25] and in the multicarrier code division multiple access receivers [26,27].…”

Efficient Channel Estimation and Signal Detection Schemes for Multiple Input and Multiple Output System under WiMax Environment

“…Thus, the Relaxed MMSE (RMMSE) algorithm can be used as it requires only small amount of channel correlation matrix. Once channel state information is known, the transmitted signals can be estimated through Signal detection problem [17,18]. Out of several detectors, though the MMSE one is low complex, it is suffering from limited performance.…”
