In this paper, we propose a new nonlinear detector with improved interference suppression in Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) system. The proposed detector is a combination of the following parts: QR decomposition (QRD), low complexity users sorting before QRD, sorting-reduced (SR) K-best method and minimum mean square error (MMSE) pre-processing. Our method outperforms a linear interference rejection combining (IRC, i.e. MMSE naturally) method significantly in both strong interference and additive white noise scenarios with both ideal and real channel estimations. This result has wide application importance for scenarios with strong interference, i.e. when co-located users utilize the internet in stadium, highway, shopping center, etc. Simulation results are presented for the non-line of sight 3D-UMa model of 5G QuaDRiGa 2.0 channel for 16 highly correlated single-antenna users with QAM16 modulation in 64 antennas of Massive MIMO system. The performance was compared with MMSE and other detection approaches.

We utilize recent results on the exact block error probability of Gaussian random codes in additive white Gaussian noise to analyze Gaussian random coding for massive multiple-access at finite message length. Soft iterative interference cancellation is found to closely approach the performance bounds recently found in [1]. The existence of two fundamentally different regimes in the trade-off between power and bandwidth efficiency reported in [2] is related to much older results in [3] on power optimization by linear programming. Furthermore, we tighten the achievability bounds of [1] in the low power regime and show that orthogonal constellations are very close to the theoretical limits for message lengths around 100 and above.

An embodiment of this invention uses a massive parallel interconnect fabric (MPIF) at the flipped interface of a core die substrate (having the core logic blocks) and a context die (used for in circuit programming/context/customization of the core die substrate), to produce ASIC-like density and FPGA-like flexibility/programmability, while reducing the time and cost for development and going from prototyping to production, reducing cost per die, reducing or eliminating NRE, and increasing performance. Other embodiments of this invention enable debugging complex SoC through large contact points provided through the MPIF, provide for multi-platform functionality, and enable incorporating FGPA core in ASIC platform through the MPIF. Various examples are also given for different implementations.

They are the more than 20 million people who lost their jobs in April. New numbers out today bumped the jobless rate up to 14.7%. That's the worst rate since 1940, and no industry went untouched. For more on where the economic knife cut deepest, we are now joined by some of the reporters who cover these industries. NPR's Alina Selyukh covers retail and restaurants. Camila Domonoske covers the auto industry and oil and gas for NPR. And Will Stone has been covering health care for NPR from Seattle. Welcome to all three of you. ALINA SELYUKH, BYLINE: Hi. CAMILA DOMONOSKE, BYLINE: Hello. WILL STONE, BYLINE: Hi. CHANG: Alina, let's start with you. The lockdowns, I mean, they forced so many restaurants, so many bars, travel destinations to shut down. We know about that. But today we got a read on just how bad those
