Simulation of V-BLAST Systems and Their Detection Algorithms

Resource Overview

This program simulates V-BLAST systems and their detection algorithms, supporting BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM modulation schemes. The implemented detection algorithms include ML (Maximum Likelihood), MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error), ZF (Zero Forcing), and SIC-ZF (Successive Interference Cancellation with Zero Forcing). The code structure modularizes key components such as modulation mapping, channel matrix generation, and detection modules for flexible performance comparison.

Detailed Documentation

This program is designed to simulate V-BLAST systems and their detection algorithms to evaluate their performance characteristics. It supports multiple modulation schemes, including BPSK, QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM, with corresponding constellation mapping functions implemented for symbol encoding/decoding. The detection algorithms feature modular implementations of ML (exhaustive search-based maximum likelihood), MMSE (using regularization for noise robustness), ZF (linear pseudo-inverse solution), and SIC-ZF (sequential interference cancellation with zero-forcing preprocessing). The simulation framework incorporates configurable channel models to test performance under various channel conditions, enabling comprehensive system evaluation. We believe this program provides valuable reference for related research and supports optimization efforts for V-BLAST systems through comparative algorithm analysis and BER (Bit Error Rate) performance metrics.
