Sub-graph based joint sparse graph for sparse code multiple access systems
Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) is a promising air interface candidate technique for next generation mobile networks, especially for massive machine type communications (mMTC). In this paper, we design a LDPC coded SCMA detector by combining the sparse graphs of LDPC and SCMA into one joint sparse graph (JSG). In our proposed scheme, SCMA sparse graph (SSG) defined by small size indicator matrix is utilized to construct the JSG, which is termed as sub-graph based joint sparse graph of SCMA (SG-JSG-SCMA). In this paper, we first study the binary-LDPC (B-LDPC) coded SGJSG- SCMA system. To combine the SCMA variable node (SVN) and LDPC variable node (LVN) into one joint variable node (JVN), a non-binary LDPC (NB-LDPC) coded SG-JSG-SCMA is also proposed. Furthermore, to reduce the complexity of NBLDPC coded SG-JSG-SCMA, a joint trellis representation (JTR) is introduced to represent the search space of NB-LDPC coded SG-JSG-SCMA. Based on JTR, a low complexity joint trellis based detection and decoding (JTDD) algorithm is proposed to reduce the computational complexity of NB-LDPC coded SGJSG- SCMA system. According to the simulation results, SG-JSGSCMA brings significant performance improvement compare to the conventional receiver using the disjoint approach, and it can also outperform a Turbo-structured receiver with comparable complexity. Moreover, the joint approach also has advantages in terms of processing latency compare to the Turbo approaches
Capacity-Achieving MIMO-NOMA: Iterative LMMSE Detection
This paper considers a low-complexity iterative Linear Minimum Mean Square
Error (LMMSE) multi-user detector for the Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output
system with Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (MIMO-NOMA), where multiple
single-antenna users simultaneously communicate with a multiple-antenna base
station (BS). While LMMSE being a linear detector has a low complexity, it has
suboptimal performance in multi-user detection scenario due to the mismatch
between LMMSE detection and multi-user decoding. Therefore, in this paper, we
provide the matching conditions between the detector and decoders for
MIMO-NOMA, which are then used to derive the achievable rate of the iterative
detection. We prove that a matched iterative LMMSE detector can achieve (i) the
optimal capacity of symmetric MIMO-NOMA with any number of users, (ii) the
optimal sum capacity of asymmetric MIMO-NOMA with any number of users, (iii)
all the maximal extreme points in the capacity region of asymmetric MIMO-NOMA
with any number of users, (iv) all points in the capacity region of two-user
and three-user asymmetric MIMO-NOMA systems. In addition, a kind of practical
low-complexity error-correcting multiuser code, called irregular
repeat-accumulate code, is designed to match the LMMSE detector. Numerical
results shows that the bit error rate performance of the proposed iterative
LMMSE detection outperforms the state-of-art methods and is within 0.8dB from
the associated capacity limit.Comment: Accepted by IEEE TSP, 16 pages, 9 figures. This is the first work
that proves the low-complexity iterative receiver (Parallel Interference
Cancellation) can achieve the capacity of multi-user MIMO systems. arXiv
