Abstract
In this paper, sphere decoding algorithms are proposed for both hard detection and soft processing in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems. Both algorithms are based on the complex tree structure to reduce the complexity of searching the unique minimum Euclidean distance and multiple Euclidean distances, and obtain the corresponding transmit symbol vectors. The novel complex hard sphere decoder for MIMO detection is presented first, and then the soft processing of a novel sphere decoding algorithm for list generation is discussed. The performance and complexity of the proposed techniques are demonstrated via simulations in terms of bit error rate (BER), the number of nodes accessed and floating-point operations (FLOPS).
