Manufacturing and operation of wireless systems require a practical solution for achieving low-power and high-performance when using advance communication apparatus such as that using multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO). Often algorithm solutions achieve very high performance but over only in a narrow range of operating parameters. This paper presents a hardware design of MIMO detection that allows real-time switching between various algorithms and detection effort to achieve high performance over the wide-range of signal to noise ratio (SNR) found in realistic operating conditions. We illustrate a design with over 80% reduction in detection power that satisfies the required quality of service (QoS) in SNRs (Eb/No) as low as 8.7 dB.

Abstract This study deals with the distance estimation issue in low-power wireless systems being usually used for sensor networking and interconnecting the Internet of Things. There is an effort to locate or track these sensor entities for different needs the radio signal time of flight principle from the theoretical and practical side of application research is evaluated. Since these sensor devices are mainly targeted for low power consumption appliances, there is always need for optimization of any aspects needed for regular sensor operation. For the distance estimation we benefit from IEEE 802.15.4a technology, which offers the precise ranging capabilities. There is no need for additional hardware to be used for the ranging task and all fundamental measurements are acquired within the 15.4a standard compliant hardware in the real environment. The proposed work examines the problems and the solutions for implementation of distance estimation algorithms for WSN devices. The main contribution of the article is seen in this real testbed evaluation of the ranging technology.
