In this paper we propose a reduced search soft output detection algorithm fully based on the principle of M algorithm for turbo equalization, which is a suboptimum version of the Lee algorithm. This algorithm is called soft output M algorithm (denoted as SO M algorithm), which applies the M strategy to both the forward recursion and the extended forward recursion of the Lee algorithm. Computer simulation results show that, by properly selecting and adjusting the breadth parameter and depth parameter during the iteration of turbo equalization, this algorithm can obtain good performance and complexity trade off.展开更多

In the proposed scheme, the sorted QR de- composition is applied on the lattice-reduced equivalent channel to obtain the tree structure. With the aid of the boundary control, the stack algorithm searches a small part of the whole search tree to generate a handful of candidate lists in the reduced lattice. The proposed soft-output algorithm achieves near-optimal perfor- mance in a coded MIMO system and the associated computational complexity is substantially lower than that of previously proposed methods.展开更多
