Abstract

General-purpose processor (GPP), which is suitable for software radio processing because of its powerful processing capability and flexibility, has aroused industry-wide attention and exploration. By taking advantage of streaming single instruction multiple data extensions (SSE), this paper presents the GPP-based design of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) detection which is of high complexity in LTE downlink receiver. The performance simulation results illustrate that with dramatically reduced complexity soft minimum mean square error (MMSE) detection is able to approximate ML performance in low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR), and about 4 dB lose in high SNR. The complexity comparison results show that the implementation of soft MMSE detection in parallel can reduce the processing time by about 86% compared with not in parallel.
