It is based on Breadth-first search method. The proposed algorithm is independent of the number of transmitting/receiving antennas and constellation size. It provides a high throughput and reduced Bit Error Rate (BER) with the performance close to Maximum Likelihood Detection (MLD) method. The main innovations are the nodes that are expanded and visited based on MPED algorithm and it keeps track of finally selecting the best candidates at each cycle. It allows its complexity to scale linearly with the modulation order. Using Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) the complex domain input signals are modulated and are converted into wavelet packets and these packets are transmitted using Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. Then from the number of received signals the best signal is detected using MPED based K-best algorithm. It provides the exact best node solution with reduced complexity. The pipelined VLSI architecture is the best suited for implementation because the expansion and sorting cores are data driven. The proposed method is implemented targeting Xilinx Virtex 5 device for a 4 × 4, 64-QAM system and it achieves throughput of 1.1 Gbps. The results of resource utilization are tabulated and compared with the existing algorithms.展开更多
