Within this project, efficient implementation of MIMO detectors for 4G terminals has been investigated, covering sophisticated concepts to reduce computational complexity as well as parallelization strategies for throughput enhancement. Beyond algorithmic analysis, architectural concepts have been explored, enabling a high-throughput, low-hardware-complexity and low-power-consumption implementation. The clearly outstanding implementation results, together with enabled flexibility, scalability and parallelizability, demonstrate the capability of the proposed detector to fulfill the 4G stringent requirements as well as its suitability for integration into future fourth generation receivers.
