METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREDICTING CHANNEL QUALITY INDEX (CQI) VALUES FOR MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD (ML) DETECTION IN A 2X2 MULTIPLE INPUT MULTIPLE OUTPUT (MIMO) WIRELESS SYSTEM

摘要

Aspects of a method and system for predicting CQI values for ML detection in a 2x2 MIMO system are presented. In one aspect of the system, a CQI value for a MIMO communication system may be computed based on a computed channel realization by reverse mapping the computed channel realization to a corresponding CQI value. Based on the computed CQI value, a coding rate may be selected. The coding rate may be selected from a lookup table, wherein the computed CQI value is utilized as an index to the lookup table. The reverse mapping may utilize a function, which is computed using radial basis function networks. In another aspect of the system, a joint mutual information value may be computed for the MIMO communication system. The joint mutual information value may be computed based on a Shannon mutual information value and a matched filter mutual information value.
