Groupwise Neighbor Examination for Tabu Search Detection in Large MIMO systems
share
In the conventional tabu search (TS) detection algorithm for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the metrics of all neighboring vectors are computed to determine the best one to move to. This strategy requires high computational complexity, especially in large MIMO systems with high-order modulation schemes such as 16- and 64-QAM signaling. This paper proposes a novel reduced-complexity TS detection algorithm called neighbor-grouped TS (NG-TS), which divides the neighbors into groups and finds the best neighbor by using a simplified cost function. Furthermore, based on the complexity analysis of NG-TS, we propose a channel ordering scheme that further reduces its complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed NG-TS with channel ordering can achieve up to 85 conventional TS algorithm with no performance loss in both low- and higher-order modulation schemes.
