Abstract: A device and method for precoding vectors in a communication system is provided. A transmitter may precode a data vector using information regarding a communication channel prior to transmitting the data vector. The transmitter may precode the data vector in a manner that reduces an energy value of a resulting transmit data vector so as to minimize interference in a received signal at a receiver. The transmitter may perturb entries of the data vector one-by-one in an iterative fashion until a minimum in an energy value of the transmit data vector is obtained.

Abstract: Techniques for enabling an estimate of a transmittal signal vector, given a received signal vector and a channel matrix to be computed, are provided. An initial solution signal vector for the estimate is calculated, and based on the initial estimate, a pool of possible solutions is generated. Methods described herein may be iterative in nature, and may cycle through possible estimates of the transmitted signal vector so as to continually improve the estimates and the pool of possible estimates. The methods may terminate once stopping criteria are reached. In some example methods, solutions may be marked at taboo and a taboo period can be established that indicates a number of subsequent iterations for which the current solution signal vector cannot be considered.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system to detect data transmitted by multiple transmit antennas. The method comprises selecting a starting data block that is either a random data block or an output data block from known detectors. Also, the method comprises changing each symbol of the starting data block one symbol at a time to identify a data block which has minimum euclidean distance from the starting data block as detected data block. Next, changing two symbols of the detected data block at a time to identify a data block which has minimum euclidean distance from the starting data block as second data block and assigning the second data block as the starting data block. Repeating the above steps, if the minimum euclidean distance of second data block is better than that of the detected data block, and determining the detected data block as the data transmitted.

Abstract: A method to detect data transmitted from multiple antennas, said method comprising steps of: selecting a starting data block and calling it as previous data block; defining a set of indices of bits to be checked for possible flip in the previous data block as a check candidate set; applying update rule to obtain updated data block using the previous data block and the check candidate set, wherein the update is made in such a manner that change in likelihood is positive; checking if the updated data block and several consecutive previous data blocks are the same; if yes, declare the updated data block as the detected data block; if no, make updated data block as previous data block and repeat updation of data block.
