Abstract-This paper presents a performance analysis of soft decision based Lattice Reduction (LR) aided Schnorr-Euchner (SE) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) detection algorithm with that of a hard one. We develop an advanced soft decoding scheme, for 4×4 MIMO with different modulation schemes and it provides 1.3 to 1.5 dB improvement compared to the LR-aided hard decision based detection method. The optimum parameters for K and saturation limit are further derived using extensive simulation. In the conventional K-best algorithm limiting the LLR values is not beneficiary in reducing the optimum size of candidate list, whereas applying the saturation limit on the LLR values in LR-aided algorithm will result in more than 8x reduction in list size as well as in the complexity of detector and LLR calculation unit.Index Terms-MIMO, soft decoding, lattice reduction, and k-best detector.

“…However, processing of a single sub-matrix in isolation only requires a simple local communication network (switch) and a simple memory structure [22,1,6,29,25]. It does not solve the problem of an effective and efficient processing of the whole PCM matrix and related communication architecture for this aim.…”

“…QC-LDPC DECODER ARCHITECTURE LDPC codes and in particular quasi-cyclic (QC)-LDPC codes [7] are among the most popular and capable errorcorrecting codes adopted in many modern standards including DVB-S2 [8] and IEEE 802.11n [9]. The decoding of a QC-LDPC code is in general performed by iterative message passing between variable nodes which represent the code bits and check nodes which represent the parity check equations of the code-specific parity-check matrix H. The messages going from variable nodes to check nodes are denoted as Qmessages and the messages exchanged in the other direction as R-messages.…”

“…In addition, an L-value is associated with each variable node representing the reliability information for the corresponding code bit in the form of an estimate of the aposteriori log-likelihood ratio (LLR). In this work, we use an LDPC decoder based on the offset-min-sum (OMS) messageupdate rules combined with the layered decoding schedule in order to profit from a good balance between convergence speed and VLSI implementation complexity [7], [4]. …”

Abstract-The area and power consumption of low-density parity check (LDPC) decoders are typically dominated by embedded memories. To alleviate such high memory costs, this paper exploits the fact that all internal memories of a LDPC decoder are frequently updated with new data. These unique memory access statistics are taken advantage of by replacing all static standard-cell based memories (SCMs) of a prior-art LDPC decoder implementation by dynamic SCMs (D-SCMs), which are designed to retain data just long enough to guarantee reliable operation. The use of D-SCMs leads to a 44% reduction in silicon area of the LDPC decoder compared to the use of static SCMs. The low-power LDPC decoder architecture with refreshfree D-SCMs was implemented in a 90 nm CMOS process, and silicon measurements show full functionality and an information bit throughput of up to 600 Mbps (as required by the IEEE 802.11n standard).
