A new architecture called integer-forcing (IF) linear receiver has been recently proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels, wherein an appropriate integer linear combination of the received symbols has to be computed as a part of the decoding process. The only known solution to finding these integers is based on exhaustive search. In this talk, we present a method based on HKZ and Minkowski lattice basis reduction algorithms to obtain the integer coefficients for the IF receiver. We show that the proposed method provides a lower bound on the ergodic rate, and achieves the full receive diversity. Furthermore, we establish the connection between the proposed IF linear receivers and lattice reduction aided MIMO detectors.
