MIMO

Using Massive MIMO Arrays to Reject Radar-Generated Interference and to Perform Integrated Sensing and Communications

Prof. Stefano Buzzi, University of Cassino and Lazio Meridionale, Italy

-

KAUST

This webinar will explore the potentiality of massive MIMO arrays in a scenario where radar and communication tasks coexist. The first part of the talk will be devoted to the discussion of a scenario where a wireless network is to co-exist with an external radar system sharing the same frequency band. The second part of the talk will be instead focused on a scenario where a base station equipped with a large scale antenna array simultaneously perform the task of radar surveillance of the surrounding environment and of data communication with mobile users.

Chung-An Shen, et al., "A Best-First Soft/Hard Decision Tree Searching MIMO Decoder for a 4×4 64-QAM System" IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems 20, (8), 2012, 1537. Abstract: This paper presents the algorithm and VLSI architecture of a configurable tree-searching approach that combines the features of classical depth-first and breadth-first methods. Based on this approach, techniques to reduce complexity while providing both hard and soft outputs decoding are presented. Furthermore, a single programmable parameter allows the user to tradeoff throughput versus BER
