A novel iterative detection method based on a lattice reduction-aided algorithm for MIMO OFDM systems.

The lattice reduction-aided algorithm has received broad attention from researchers since it operates as a maximum likelihood receiver with better system performance for multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems and contains a full diversity. A novel iterative detection algorithm canceling parallel iterations that employ the lattice reduction-aided approach is proposed. Soft information is exchanged through the detector itself. Its iteration occurs inside the detector, which reduces much of the exchange cost between the multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing detector and the turbo decoder. Since the parallel interference cancellation algorithm is constrained by the accuracy of the initial value of the detection, it is easy to form error propagation after several iterations. Due to the lattice reduction-aided algorithm, its performance is approximated with the maximum likelihood algorithm. Therefore, the lattice reduction-aided algorithm is introduced into the parallel interference cancellation algorithm to make its detection algorithm more accurate and overcome the effect of error propagation in the manuscript. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm leads to an improvement of 0.8-2 dB when the bit error rate is set to 10 when compared to other algorithms.
