Abstract: Techniques are described for carrier frequency offset (CFO) and channel estimation of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmissions over multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) frequency-selective fading channels. A wireless transmitter forms blocks of symbols by inserting training symbols within two or more blocks of information-bearing symbols. The transmitter applies a hopping code to each of the blocks of symbols to insert a null subcarrier at a different position within each of the blocks of symbols, and a modulator outputs a wireless signal in accordance with the blocks of symbols. A receiver receives the wireless signal and estimates the CFO, and outputs a stream of estimated symbols based on the estimated CFO.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus reducing or eliminating the number of multipliers in Schnorr-Euchner expansion algorithms are disclosed. Methods and apparatus for implementing Schnorr-Euchner expansion algorithms with a reduced number of multipliers or without any multipliers are also disclosed. Also disclosed is a Schnorr-Euchner expansion method for a multiple-input multiple-output communication system. The method includes receiving, by a plurality of input terminals, a plurality of input signals. The method also includes detecting a symbol transmitted by each input signal. The detection includes identifying a list of possible symbols that may be transmitted by each input signal. A cost value for each possible symbol is determined based on a cost function. The cost function is implemented without requiring a multiplier. The possible symbol with a lowest cost value is identified as the transmitted symbol.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide efficient greedy LLL algorithms that not only converge faster but also exhibit much lower complexity than the existing greedy LLL variants while similar error performance is maintained. First, a relaxed Lovász condition is designed for searching the candidate set of LLL iterations with column swap operations. This relaxation does not need size reduction operations so that it can save complexity compared to the existing greedy LLL algorithms. Further, a relaxed criterion of the decrease in LLL potential is designed to select the optimal one in the candidate set of LLL iterations, which also exhibits lower complexity than the existing greedy LLL algorithms. Furthermore, simulations show that the inventive algorithm needs less LLL iterations compared to the existing greedy LLL algorithms.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting a symbol in large-scale multiple-input multiple-output communication systems. The detection is based on an improved lattice-reduction-aided K-best algorithm. The detection finds K best candidate symbols with minimum costs for each layer based on a priority queue and an on-demand expansion. In a complex domain, the detection may include a 2-dimensional Schnorr-Euchner expansion or, in the alternative, a two-stage 1-dimensional Schnorr-Euchner expansion.
