Samenvatting
Communication over a MIMO (multiple-inputmultiple-
output) channel promises several advantages:
increase in channel capacity, reduced transmit power, greater
coverage, and improved link robustness. The minimum mean
squared error equalizer (MMSE) is a potential algorithm in
addressing the MIMO detection challenge. This paper presents
four implementations for the computation of the MMSE
equalizer coefficients. The studied options are: (1) a generalpurpose
microprocessor (ARM926EJ-S), (2) a traditional
general purpose DSP (RD16024), (3) an embedded vector
processor (EVP16), and (4) a dedicated hardware solution. We
show that, the equalizer requires acceleration for real-time
processing. In order to obtain a low cost, flexible multistandard
WLAN baseband implementation, EVP16 is the only
feasible solution among the four studied.
