Abstract– In wireless communications, the use of multiple antennas at both the
transmitter and receiver is a key technology to enable high data transmission without
additional bandwidth or transmit power. MIMO schemes are widely used in many
wireless standards, allowing higher throughput using spatial multiplexing techniques.
Bit split mapping based on JDD is designed. Here ETI coding is used for encoding and
Viterbi is used for decoding. Experimental results for 16-QAM and 64 QAM with the
code rate of ½ and 1/3 codes are shown to verify the proposed approach and to elucidate
the design tradeoffs in terms the BER performance. This bit split mapping based JDD
algorithm can greatly improve BER performance with different system settings.

I. INTRODUCTION
Wireless communication is the transmission of information or power between two or
more points [1], [5] that are not connected by an electrical conductor. The primary usage of
wireless communication technologies are LTE, LTE- advanced, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Wireless operations allows services such as long-range communications that are impossible
to implement with the use of wires. In wireless communication an information is transferred
into short and long distances. Wireless communication using Multiple-Input Multiple Output
(MIMO) systems provides increased spectral efficiency [3] for a given total transmit power.
This wireless networking technology greatly improves the range and capacity of a wireless
communication system. In wireless communication MIMO system refers to the use of more
than one antenna at both sides of transmission.
A key feature of MIMO systems is the ability to turn multipath propagation. This paper
discusses the recent advance technologies from theory to practical issues. From the
mathematical point of view [6], the MIMO communication is performed through a matrix and
not just a vector channel, so it is possible to transmit multiple parallel signal streams
simultaneously in the same frequency band. This will increase the spectral efficiency and that
technique [3]-[7] is called as spatial multiplexing. Spatial multiplexing involves modulation
and demodulation process.
Different from the repetitive scheme, a no repetitive method is proposed and the approach
illustrated in [1] focused on linear block codes. However, a compromise between diversity
and multiplexing has to be made since it is not possible to exploit both maximum diversity
gain and maximum multiplexing gain at the same time. Ideally, adaptive system would adapt
the exploitation of multiple antennas to current conditions and thus simultaneously increase
41

both the throughput and the reliability of communication system. This paper presents an
algorithm called Embedded Transition Inversion (ETI) of a reconfigurable JDD scheme that
shows the MIMO detection and decoding of Viterbi codes currently. Most importantly, the
proposed system design is highly improving BER such that it can be configured to operate
with different combination of encoder code rates and QAM modulation techniques. The most
commonly used modulation schemes in traditional wireless systems [1]-[3], [6], [10].
Compared with the previous CJDD method exploits in [1], this design can be applied to a
generalized domain of MIMO communications and can be practically employed to the real
world applications. In short, main contributions of this paper can be considered as follows.
1) The reconfigurable JDD algorithm is presented. This algorithm conducts the MIMO
detection and decoding of Viterbi codes concurrently, and can be configured to
operate with QAM modulation schemes and encoder code rates.
2) The proposed system approaches Embedded Transition Inversion scheme. In
particular, shifting properties can be implemented to achieve high BER performance.
3) Experimental results for 16-QAM and 64-QAM with rate ½ and rate 1/3 codes are
shown to verify the proposed approach gives the BER performance, complexity,
power consumption.
This paper is organized as follows. A review of the system setup and CJDD approach is
presented in section II. The proposed reconfigurable ETI algorithm result is presented in
section III. ETI implementation results and BER analysis are given in section IV. Finally,
this paper is concluded in section V.
Review of Configurable Joint Detection and Decoding Algorithm
An important idea of CJDD algorithm [1] lies in an innovative tree enumeration scheme.
The system settings that might change the tree-searching behavior and explicitly define the
control parameters that are used to configure the performance of the algorithm. The CJDD
processor that can perform the MIMO detection and decoding of convolutional codes
simultaneously were designed and implemented.
This design comprised of three major elements, VSF, Path Metric Computer and Sorter.
Furthermore a number of registers are also used for storing intermediate results. Considering
the fact that multiple paths with multiple tree level could be computed, and each computation
is involved with a number of arithmetic operations, PMC becomes the primary bottleneck of
the design. Moreover, since the most prominent feature of CJDD design is to be configurable
to support different system settings, multiple stages of states could be traversed before
proceeding. Even though path metric computer provides required path coverage through
testing many paths are impossible to exercise due to relationship of data. Approximately a
3dB improvement is achieved for the 16 QAM and more than 3dB is achieved for the 64
QAM structure. However it is important to notice that such non iterative scheme also incurs a
non-affordable complexity and a huge processing delay.

II.SYSTEM MODEL
An existing system of a CJDD scheme for MIMO wireless communication systems
with convolutional codes can be modified as ETI scheme for MIMO with Viterbi codes. In an
existing system provides a complex trace back unit in decoder that reduces efficiency and
throughput. In order to overcome this, Bit split mapping based on JDD is designed. Here
Embedded Transition Inversion coding is used for encoding and Viterbi code is used for
decoding.
Fig 1. Embedded Transition Inversion Encoding
A technique of converting high bit depth and / or high sample rate digital audio
signals to a form that can be recorded at lower bit depth and sample rates. A device that
can do bit splitting will break the high resolution audio into several tracks of lower
resolution data for recording. Error coding is a method of detecting and correcting errors
to ensure information is transferred from its source to its destination. The decoder uses
two metrics the branch metric and the path metric. The key insight in Viterbi algorithm is
that the receiver can compute the path metric for a (state, time) pair incrementally using
the path metrics of previously computed states and branch metrics.
A general technique called bit splitting gives us a way to do that. The idea is straight
forward: the encoder does not send every parity bit produced in each stream, but “splitter”
the stream sending only a subset of the bits that are agreed-upon between encoder and
decoder. This technique gives the BER performance up to 5 dB .The reason for the
superior performance of the codes is that they have the greater space distance. The greater
space distance allows for a large number of closely spaced errors to be corrected.
Bit error rate testing is a powerful methodology for end to end testing of digital
transmission systems.

Figure 2 shows the generation of an analog signal using matlab coding. Signal is
important for transmitting the data. It is the basic step in the wireless data transmission.
Analog signals are continuously varing signals with the response of time and amplitude.
Fig 3. Binary Conversion of an Analog Signal.
Figure 3 shows that the binary conversion of signal. Wireless communication need the digital
data for transmitting the information for better communication. The binary digits are
representing the values of data to be transmitted from the encoder side from the source.

Fig 4. Signal generation of ½ rate encoder
Figure 4 shows the values of ½ encoder. The encoding signals are generated based on the
clock, reset values. The clock signal is used for synchronizing the encoding. Reset values
clear the past responses.
Fig 5. Encoded output
Figure 5 shows the encoded output. The error signal is transmitted in the input side. By using
the MIMO decoder the correct encoding signals are generated. ETI plays an important role to
produce the encoded data.

The bit error improvement is analyzed by different code rate of the signals. Final results gives
the decoded waveform of QAM using MIMO decoder.
IV. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK
This paper presents an algorithm and the VLSI architecture of the CJDD approach for
the MIMO wireless communication systems. A formal outline of algorithm is given and
simulation results are presented showing that the proposed CJDD algorithm can
greatly improve the BER performance with different system settings. In addition, the
VLSI architecture and an implementation of the proposed CJDD processor are
illustrated, and the optimization techniques to improve the design efficiency are
introduced. The post synthesized experimental results show that this design can
achieve a reduced system complexity compared with the conventional separate
scheme with configurability.
As power densities continue to rise, interleaved boost designs become a powerful tool
to keep input currents manageable and increase efficiency, while still maintaining good
power density. With mandates on energy savings more common, interleaved construction
may be the only way to achieve design objectives. The benefits of this approach are
demonstrated by a two-phase boost converter design built around the LM5032 pulse-width
modulation (PWM) controller.
