Rapid prototyping of a fixed-complexity sphere decoder and its application to iterative decoding of turbo-MIMO systems

This thesis concentrates on the analysis of the sphere decoder (SD) for MIMO detection. It provides optimal maximum likelihood (ML) performance with reduced complexity compared to the maximum likelihood detector (MLD). However, a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation of the algorithm p...
