Multiple symbol differential detection based on sphere decoding for unitary space-time modulation

Abstract

Recently, a multiple symbol differential (MSD) sphere decoding (SD) algorithm for unitary spacetime modulation over quasi-static channel has been proved to achieve the performance of maximumlikelihood (ML) detection with relatively low complexity. However, an error floor occurs if the algorithm is applied over rapid-fading channels. Based on the assumption of continuous fading, a multiple symbol differential automatic sphere decoding (MSDASD) algorithm is developed by incorporating a recursive form of an ML metric into automatic SD (ASD) algorithm. Furthermore, two algorithms, termed as MSD approximate ASD (MSDAASD) and MSD pruning ASD (MSDPASD), are proposed to reduce computational complexity and the number of comparisons, respectively. Compared with the existing typical algorithms, i.e., multiple symbol differential feedback detection (MS-DFD) and noncoherent sequence detection (NSD), the performance of the proposed algorithms is much superior to that of MS-DFD and a little inferior to that of NSD, while the complexity is lower than that of MS-DFD in most cases and significantly lower than that of NSD. differential unitary space-time modulation, multiple symbol differential detection (MSDD), sphere decoding (SD)

Petrogenesis of the Jurassic Guiping Complex in the Southwestern South China Block: Insights into the Subduction Processes of the Paleo-Pacific Slab

“…Jiang et al (2009Jiang et al ( , 2015 emphasized that back-arc extension as a result of the rollback of the Paleo-Pacific Plate led to the extensional magmatism in the Yanshanian period in South China [31,83]. As for the model of the Paleo-Pacific Plate's subduction-plate delamination-lithospheric extension, it emphasizes that the delamination of the Paleo-Pacific Plate during its horizontal subduction induced the upwelling of the asthenosphere and the continental lithosphere extension, which were the dominant factors in the formation of the A-type granites in the early Yanshanian period [32,39,84,85]. In addition to the Late Jurassic (ca.…”

Multiple-Symbol Detection Scheme for IEEE 802.15.4c MPSK Receivers over Slow Rayleigh Fading Channels

“…For continuous-phase frequency-shift keying (CPFSK) signal (L � 1), its detection performance is seriously degraded [14,15]. Several low-complexity MSD algorithms are also proposed by Fischer and Wang Xin, but their performance is far behind that of the traditional MSD algorithm [16,17].…”
