Abstract

This paper describes and compares two algorithms for the Ordered Successive Interference Cancellation (OSIC) decoding procedure proposed in V-BLAST wireless MIMO systems. They are based on algorithms that solve the Recursive Least Squares (RLS) problem, and are derived from the square root version of the Kalman Filter and the square root version of the Information Filter, respectively. For OSIC decoding, the latter is a novel and faster solution than the former because a matrix multiplication and some rotation applications are avoided. The algorithm has been formulated as a block algorithm, observing an optimum block size that minimizes execution time. It has been parallelized as a pipeline, and so is very efficient.
