Abstract

Language:

We present the first multi-subcarrier massive multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) data detector reported in the open literature. By exploiting the channel’s beamspace sparsity and frequency-domain correlation, we achieve up to 3× area and power reduction. Our design supports U = 8 user equipments and B = 64 basestation antennas, computes soft outputs for QPSK to 256-QAM, and processes 16 subcarriers in parallel. The fabricated 22FDX ASIC has a core cell area of 1.3mm2, consumes 286mW, and delivers a throughput of 7.3Gbps at 0.8V core voltage, achieving best-in-class energy efficiency of 39pJ/b.
