Abstract

We examine the decoding of Matrix C in the 802.16e WiMAX standard. An exhaustive search and zero-forcing (ES-ZF) decoder and an exhaustive search and nulling canceling (ES-NC) decoder are proposed for uncoded systems. The computational complexity of Matrix C decoding using the ES-ZF decoder is shown to be the same as the complexity of the ZF decoder for Matrix B decoding with twice the number of receive antennas times the complexity of the maximum likelihood (ML) decoder for Matrix B decoding with twice the number of receive antennas. Matrix C can be implemented in a $2 \times 2$ multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system using the ES-NC decoder with reduced complexity compared to ML decoding with no performance loss. For coded systems, double pruned trees using a zero-forcing (DPT-ZF) algorithm or nulling canceling (DPT-NC) algorithm are proposed. The DPT-NC decoder can be implemented in a $2 \times 2$ MIMO coded system with reduced complexity compared to the Max-Log decoding with no performance loss.
