This paper describes a modular hardware platform of a multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) testbed. The hardware platform is based on multiple field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), provides four integrated radio-frequency (RF) chains, and has capabilities for extension boards. The performance and modularity of the testbed enables...
Coherent detection of OFDM signals requires channel state information which can be acquired by transmitting known training symbols and by appropriate channel estimation at the receiver. Focusing on robust algorithms suitable for integration in silicon, a novel channel estimation method is proposed. The algorithm is based on a suboptimal modification to the maximum-likelihood estimator and was designed...
MIMO-OFDM based wireless LAN standards are currently being defined. These systems employ packed-based communication, which requires fast and accurate automatic gain control. The precise estimation of the expected receive signal power of data symbols, based on preamble symbols is required in order to optimally detect the data signals. In this paper, two different preamble OFDM-symbols are considered...
Future wireless LANs will increase the peak data rate by employing multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver. Well designed synchronization algorithms are a prerequisite for meeting stringent QoS requirements. In particular OFDM modulation, which constitutes the basics for WLAN, is very sensitive to timing synchronization errors which incur inter-symbol interference. In this paper, a novel...
The paper describes an algorithm and a corresponding VLSI architecture for the implementation of linear MMSE detection in packet-based MIMO-OFDM communication systems. The advantages of the presented receiver architecture are low latency, high-throughput, and efficient resource utilization, since the hardware required for the computation of the MMSE estimators is reused for the detection. The algorithm...
