VLSI architecture of a configurable joint detection and decoding (CJDD)
scheme for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems with
convolutional codes. A novel
tree-enumeration strategy is proposed such that the MIMO detection and decoding
of convolutional codes can be conducted in single stage using a tree-searching
engine. Moreover, this design can be configured to support different
combinations of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) schemes as well as
encoder code rates, and thus can be more practically deployed to real-world
MIMO wireless system. A formal outline of the proposed algorithm will be given
and simulation results for 16-QAM and 64-QAM with rate-1/2 andrate-1/3 codes
will be presented showing that, compared with the conventional separate scheme,
the CJDD algorithm can greatly improve bit error rate (BER) performance with
different system settings. In addition, the VLSI architecture and
implementation of the CJDD approach will be illustrated. The architectures and
circuits are designed to support configurability and flexibility while
maintaining high efficiency and low complexity. The post layout experimental
results for 16-QAM and 64-QAM withrate-1/2 and rate-1/3 codes show that,
compared with the previous configurable design, this architecture can achieve
reduced or comparable complexity with improved BER performance.
