Abstract :
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been one of the most important General Purpose Processors (GPPs) for Software Defined Radio (SDR), since they are specialized for vector-based data-intensive highly parallel computation. Among the main modules of SDR platform, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection is most time-consuming and computational complexity. A novel strategy is proposed to implement the minimum mean square error (MMSE)-based detector for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). The key component of the strategy is a massively parallel implementation of the scalable matrix inversion, which is the performance bottleneck in the MMSE detector, on graphics processing units (GPUs). A series of optimization methods such as multi-threaded matrix inversion with multiple data frames, maximizing the utilization of the fast on-chip memories, and overlap kernel execution with data transfer between CPU and GPU, are proposed to construct a reconfigurable and flexible MMSE detector. Experimental results demonstrate that the throughput for 4×4 MIMO-OFDM system can achieve over 18×106 symbol/s, which is equivalent to 100 Mb/s for 64QAM and can satisfy the requirement of the 4th generation wireless communication standards like LTE/LTE-Advanced.
