Soft Semi-definite Relaxation for Detection of 16-QAM Signaling in MIMO Systems
MIMO系统中16-QAM信号的软值输出半正定松弛检测

In this paper, soft semi-definite relaxation for detection of 16-QAM signaling in MIMO systems is investigated. Additional constraints and dimension-reduction approximation method are proposed, which can be used to calculate the Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) and reduce dimensions of the SDR detection, respectively. Simulations show that the soft SDR detector exhibits a better performance in a flat-fading MIMO channels, and the complexity of the soft detector is considerably reduced by reducing the dimensions of the SDR programming, but the performance loss leads by dimension reduction is about 0.2 to 0.4 dB.
