This invention provides a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection method and a detector which can be in accordance with various modulation techniques and have low computation complexity. The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection method comprises the following steps: (A) performing the following sub-steps to every path arriving a current level: (A1) to the current level, according to a received signal corresponding to the processed received signal vector, calculating an interference-removing received signal in which the interference of the previous level is removed; and (A2) to each of the subsets of a first target number divided by a constellation diagram, performing the following step: finding out a constellation point in the subset closest to the interference-removing received signal, extending a branch representing the constellation point from the path to the next level, and calculating the length of the branch and a corresponding path length.

Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention] The present invention relates to a detector and a detection method thereof, and more particularly to a multi-input multi-output detector and a detection method thereof. [Prior Art] Multiple-input multiple-output (技术) technology has been widely incorporated into various wireless communication standards to improve spectral efficiency. In a MIMO system, the transmitter cuts the data into a multi-symbol stream, and uses a plurality of antennas to transmit the stream at the same time and in the same frequency band; the receiving end receives these by using most antennas. The sum of the stream of characters is separated and the streams are separated to obtain the characters originally transmitted by the transmitting end. It is currently accepted that the receiver based on the most likely panoramic detection (MLD) has the best performance (ie, the lowest error rate), but its computational complexity is very high. In 2002, Kim et al. proposed a combination of QR decomposition (QRD) and M algorithm detection techniques (hereinafter referred to as QRD-M detection), which can be found through tree search. The most approximate approximation solution, while reducing the computational complexity, still retains the best performance that is most likely to be detected. - I. Signal Model r In a MIMO system with one transmit antenna and one receive antenna, it is assumed that the far-reaching between the transmit and receive antennas is a flat fading channel. The relationship between the characters transmitted by the antenna and the signals received by the receiving antenna can be expressed as: 201014235

A political _ _ path is defined as the sum of the eight knives of the branches on this path. For example, for the thick line path in Figure 1, the length of the long-term ― 77 branches is |z3-~(-l)T, |e2-r23(-l)-r22(l)|2 and 201014235 /=2,·..,^) corresponds to the branch length of the branch that reaches the ί-l level in the tree diagram and extends to the branch of the next level. Obviously, the path of any path with a release branch is the cost of the transfer character vector X represented by this path. Therefore, through the tree search to find the one with the shortest path length in the path with the conditional branch, the most approximate solution gold muscle can be obtained. The V.M algorithm needs to calculate the path length of the icr path according to the above tree search. When the number of transmission antennas and the number of constellation points included in the constellation diagram increase |C|, the tree diagram becomes larger. This in turn increases the branch length of the required calculations, which increases computational complexity. In order to reduce the computational complexity, by the Μ algorithm, in the i-th hierarchy (b1,...,#rl) in the tree diagram, only the best path of the Μ·· strip is retained (ie, the path with the shortest path length) Branches are branched to the next level with their respective extensions |C|, and the remaining paths are deleted to reduce the branch length required for calculation. These reserved paths are called survivor paths. The Μ of each level in the tree diagram can be adjusted according to the corresponding channel conditions and path length (this is called the adaptive Μ algorithm). When the channel condition is good, the slave can be lowered to reduce the computational complexity. degree. VI. Improvement of QRD-M algorithm by QRD-M algorithm, in the Μ, # residual path each extension | C 分 branch to the next level, still need to calculate the branch length of the wind 丨 0 分 branch To preserve the Ml+1 best path from the M|C| path.

When branching to the next-level, use multiple quadrant detection (multiple qUadrant detect - to rank the branches of the sun, and calculate the score according to this. Branch branches are long (corresponding to the structure of the q road to retain the lust The best path from +1) can reduce the branch length required for the QRD_M algorithm. The 'multiple quadrant bond test only applies to checkerboard constellations, for example: 16-QAM constellation, therefore, This improved method does not apply to multi-input multi-round systems that modulate Xiao Cai (M>4).

Constellation ffi combination In step and step 42+, the constellation map is segmented into & subsets using the Ungerboeck's set partiti〇ning (the first target number & must be a power of 2). : See Figure '5: 15 201014235 16-QAM constellation map can be divided into packages A sub-set A of sixteen constellation points, two sub-sets each including eight constellation points and repelled, and A, four sub-sets Cg~a each including four constellation points and repulsive, each including two The eight sub-sets Dq~D? that are constellation points and repelled, or ten, each sub-rejected with a constellation point (as shown in E^E!5 in Figure 5); see Figure 6, 8_PSK The constellation diagram can be divided into a sub-set f〇 including eight constellation points, two sub-sets each including four constellation points and repulsive, and Gi, four sub-sets Ho~H3 each including two constellation points and repelling each other. , or eight sub-sets IG~1 each including a constellation point and repelled? ^Wengerberg's set partitioning makes the sub-set distance of the sub-sets the largest among all the partitions, which can reduce the error spread ( Error propagation.

Referring to Figure 6, another example is illustrated. When 5^=2, the 8-PSK constellation map can be divided into two sub-sets G〇, G! each including four constellation points, wherein the sub-set G〇 can easily find the distance from a threshold value τη The signal z is the nearest constellation point, while the subset 'G! is rotated 45.
