In this paper, we propose a variant of the QRM-MLD signal detection method that is used for spatially multiplexed multiple antenna system. The original QRM-MLD signal detection method combines the QR decomposition with the M-algorithm, thereby significantly reduces the prohibitive hardware complexity of the ML signal detection method, still achieving a near ML performance. When the number of transmitter antennas and/or constellation size are increased to achieve higher bit rate, however, its increased complexity makes the hardware implementation challenging. In an effort to overcome this drawback of the original QRM-MLD, a number of variants were proposed. A most strong variant among them, in our opinion, is the ranking method, in which the constellation points are ranked and computation is performed for only highly ranked constellation points, thereby reducing the required complexity. However, the variant using the ranking method experiences a significant performance degradation, when compared with the original QRM-MLD. In this paper, we point out the reasons of the performance degradation, and we propose a novel variant that overcomes the drawbacks. We perform a set of computer simulations to show that the proposed method achieves a near performance of the original QRM-MLD, while its computational complexity is near to that of the QRM-MLD with ranking method.

The GPS positioning offer 3D position using code and carrier phase measurements, but the user can obtain the precise accuracy positioning using carrier phase in Real Time Kinematic(RTK). The main problem, which RTK have to overcome, is the necessary to have a reference station(RS) when using RTK should be generally no more than 10km on average, which is significantly different from DGPS, where distances to RS can exceed several hundred kilometers. The accuracy of today's RTK is limited by the distance dependent errors from orbit, ionosphere and troposphere as well as station dependent influences like multipath and antenna phase center variations. For these reasons, the author proposes Network based GPS Carrier Phase Differential Positioning using Multiple RS which is detached from user receiver about 30km. An important part of the proposed system is algorithm and software development, named DAUNet. The main process is corrections computation, corrections interpolation and searching for the integer ambiguity. Corrections computation of satellite by satellite and epoch by epoch at each reference station are calculated by a Functional model and Stochastic model based on a linear combination algorithm and corrections interpolation at user receiver are used by area correction parameters. As results, the users can obtain the cm-level positioning.
