摘要: | 本論文提出一高天線數、軟性輸出、可重置式多輸入多輸出偵測器之晶片設計。此多輸入多輸出偵測器晶片具有多項重要的特色(Key feature):
1.採用新式高效能球面解碼演算法 2.支援8x8 64QAM高天線數高調變系統 3.支援軟性輸出(Soft-output)以及迭代候選人列表(Candidate list)輸出 4.可重置式設計,支援多種天線數及調變數系統,共21種模式 相較於其他已發表晶片,功率消耗最低 在演算法階段,本論文採用”改良式 最佳優先搭配快速向下搜尋(Modified best-first with fast decent, MBF-FD)演算法”,大幅提升球面解碼器之搜尋效能。在硬體設計方面,本論文針對新式演算法提出多項新式硬體架構,如”管線式四元雙堆積架構(Pipelined quad-deap)”等大幅增加硬體效能。並採用許多電路設計技巧,如華倫斯數(Wallace tree)、布斯編碼(Booth Encoding)、閘式時脈(Gated clock)來達到低功率、高速、低複雜度的晶片設計。 本晶片是目前已發表的多輸入多輸出偵測器晶片中,唯一可以支援8x8 64QAM高天線數高調變系統之晶片。本晶片相容於軟性輸入錯誤更正碼(Soft-input error correcting codes)及迭代式解碼架構(Iterative decoding),並能支援2x2, 3x3, …8x8所有天線,QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM等所有調變組合。本晶片透過國家晶片中心,已於CIC T13L-97B梯次下線,並實際利用國家晶片中心機台量測,晶片最高操作時脈可達198MHz,輸出率可達296.6Mbps。跟其他已發表之MIMO球面解碼晶片相比較,本晶片之消耗功率也最低,效能相當優異。 In this work, VLSI implementation of a configurable, soft-output MIMO detector is presented. The proposed IC can support up to 8×8 64QAM spatial multiplexing MIMO communications, which surpasses all reported MIMO detector ICs in antenna number and modulation order. Moreover, this chip provides configurable antenna number from 2×2 up to 8×8 and modulation order from QPSK to 64QAM. Its outputs include bit-wise log likelihood ratios (LLRs) and a candidate list, making it compatible with powerful soft-input decoders and iterative decoders. The MIMO detector adopts a novel sphere decoding algorithm with high decoding efficiency and better error rate performance, called modified best first with fast descent (MBF-FD). Moreover, a low-power pipelined quad-DEAP circuit for efficient node pool management and several circuit techniques are implemented in this chip. When this IC is configured as 4×4 64 QAM and 8×8 64QAM soft-output MIMO detectors, it achieves average throughputs of 297Mbps and 207.1Mbps with only 58.2mW and 74.8mW respective power consumption and negligible performance degradation (less than 0.1dB in SNR). |
