Abstract

This letter presents a joint scheme of receive antenna selection and symbol detection for multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems based on the maximum likelihood (ML) criterion. To mitigate the computational complexity, a novel variant of the genetic algorithm (GA) is addressed to solve the nonlinear optimization involved, where a new heterogenous crossover and a new heterogenous mutation are conducted in the chromosome evolution process. Furnished simulations show that the new approach provides superior performance with substantially lower computational load compared with previous works in both correlated and uncorrelated channels.
