BIT ERROR RATE, PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND COMPARISION OF M x N EQUALIZER BASED MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD AND MINIMUM MEAN SQUARE ERROR MIMO RECEIVER FOR WIRELESS CHANNEL N. Satis Kumar and K. R. Sankar Kumar Department of ECE, SriRamakrisna Engineering College, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India nsk0000@gmail.com ABSTRACT Tis paper investigates on te performance comparison of m x n equalizer based maximum likeliood (ML) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) MIMO receiver for wireless cannel. Te effect of fading and interference effects can be combated wit equalizer. Tis paper also analyses te performance of MMSE equalizer based receiver for MIMO wireless cannel. Te bit error rate (BER) caracteristics for te various transmitting and receiveing antennna are simulated in Matlab tool box and many advantages and disadvantages of te system are described. Te simulation carried out in signal processing lab sow tat te MMSE equalizer based receiver is a good coice for removing some inter symbol interference (ISI) and minimizes te total noise power. However te simulation results sow ML equalizer performance better. Te simulation tool box used is Matlab V.7.0 and te results were obtained at RF signal processing lab. Te results sow tat te BER decreases as te m x n antenna configurations is increased for bot ML and MMSE equalizer based detector. ML equalizer based detector out performs te MMSE receiver in terms of BER caracteristics. Keywords: wireless cannel, MIMO, MMSE, ISI, bit error rate, signal to noise ratio.. INTRODUCTION Wireless communication tecnology as sown tat wen multiple antennas at bot transmitter and receiver are employed it provides te possibility of iger data rates compared to single antenna systems [, ]. Te system wit multiple antennas at te transmitter and receiver is commonly referred as multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. Te multiple antennas are tus used to increase data rates troug multiplexing or to improve performance troug diversity. Tis metod offers iger capacity to wireless systems and te capacity increases linearly wit te number of antennas and link range wit out additional bandwidt and power requirements. MIMO cannel model [4, 5] is depicted in Figure- wit M transmitter and N receiver antennas. It can be acieved by iger spectral efficiency and link reliability or diversity (reduced fading).. ML EQUALIZER BASED RECEIVER It is a preferred metod of parameter estimation in statistics. It is an important tool for many statistical non-linear modeling tecniques. MLE estimate is obtained by maximizing te log-likeliood function since because te functions are monotonically related to eac oter; ence MLE estimate is obtained by maximizing eiter one. For determining te maximum likeliood estimators of te log-normal distribution parameters µ and σ, can be determined as follows, () were, ƒ L denote te probability density function of te log-normal distribution and ƒ N is te normal distribution. Terefore, using te same indices to denote distributions, we can write te log-likeliood function as Figure-. MIMO model. = Constant + () Since te first term is constant wit regard to µ and σ, bot logaritmic likeliood functions, l L and l N, reac teir maximum wit te same µ and σ. Hence, using te formulas for te normal distribution maximum likeliood parameter estimators and te equality above, we deduce tat for te log-normal distribution as 9

To find te Maximum Likeliood solution, we need to find te minimum from te all four combinations of and (5) 3. MMSE EQUALIZER In MIMO wireless communication, an equalizer is employed wic is a network tat makes an attempt to recover a signal tat suffers wit an Inter symbol Interference (ISI) and improves te BER caracteristics and maintains a good SNR. A minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator is a metod in wic it minimizes te mean square error (MSE), wic is a common measure of estimator quality. Minimum mean-square error equalizer, wic does not usually eliminate ISI completely but instead, minimizes te total power of te noise and ISI components in te output. A minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator describes te approac wic minimizes te mean square error (MSE), wic is a common measure of estimator quality. Te main feature of MMSE equalizer is tat it does not eliminate ISI completely but, minimizes te total power of te noise and ISI components in te output. Let x be an unknown random variable, and let y be a known random variable. An estimator x^ (y) is any function of te measurement y, and its mean square error is given by MSE = E {(X^ -X )} (6) were te expectation is taken over bot x and y. Te MMSE estimator is ten defined as te estimator acieving minimal MSE. In many cases, it is not possible to determine a closed form for te MMSE estimator. In tese cases, one possibility is to seek te tecnique minimizing te MSE witin a particular class, suc as te class of linear estimators. Te linear MMSE estimator is te estimator acieving minimum MSE among all estimators of te form AY + b. If te measurement Y is a random vector, A is a matrix and b is a vector. Let us now try to understand te mat for extracting te two symbols wic interfered wit eac oter. In te first time slot, te received signal on te first receive antenna is, y = x +, x + n = [, ] x x + n (7) Te received signal on te second receive antenna is, y =, x +, x + n = [,, ] Were x x + n (8) y, y are te received symbol on te first and second respectively., is te cannel from st transmit antenna to st receive, is te cannel from nd transmit antenna to st receive, is te cannel from st transmit antenna to nd receive, is te cannel from nd transmit antenna to nd receive x, x are te transmitted symbols and n, n are te noise on st and nd receive antennas. Te equation can be represented in matrix notation as follows: y y Equivalently,, = + (9),, x x n n y = Hx + n (0) Te Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) approac tries to find a coefficient W wic minimizes te E {[W y-x ] [W y-x ] H } Criterion, Were W = Equalization Matrix H = Cannel Matrix and n = Cannel noise y = Received signal. 0

Te Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) detector for meeting tis constraint is given by, W = [H H H+ N o I) - H H () Tis matrix is known as te pseudo inverse for a general m x n matrix Were, H H H = =,, + +,,,,,,,,, + +,,, () 4.
