Blind Detection in MIMO Systems via

In this paper, we provide a novel sequential estima- tion and detection approach for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The basic idea is to design a probabilistic approximation method for the computation of the maximum a posterior distribution (MAP) via the sequential Monte Carlo methods (SMC). The SMC method has two advantages over the other methods in that it is a blind method and can be computed in parallel. Furthermore, the SMC has characteristics of soft-input and soft-output in nature and, thus, it can be employed as the first stage demodulator in a turbo receiver for a coded MIMO system. Such a turbo receiver successively improves the receiver performance by iteratively exchanging the so-called extrinsic information with the MAP outer channel decoder. Finally, the performance of the proposed sequential Monte Carlo receiver is demonstrated through computer simulations for the MIMO systems over the single-path and multipath fading channels.
