A BP-MF-EP Based Iterative Receiver for Joint Phase Noise Estimation, Equalization and Decoding
In this work, with combined belief propagation (BP), mean field (MF) and
expectation propagation (EP), an iterative receiver is designed for joint phase
noise (PN) estimation, equalization and decoding in a coded communication
system. The presence of the PN results in a nonlinear observation model.
Conventionally, the nonlinear model is directly linearized by using the
first-order Taylor approximation, e.g., in the state-of-the-art soft-input
extended Kalman smoothing approach (soft-in EKS). In this work, MF is used to
handle the factor due to the nonlinear model, and a second-order Taylor
approximation is used to achieve Gaussian approximation to the MF messages,
which is crucial to the low-complexity implementation of the receiver with BP
and EP. It turns out that our approximation is more effective than the direct
linearization in the soft-in EKS with similar complexity, leading to
significant performance improvement as demonstrated by simulation results.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, Resubmitted to IEEE Signal Processing Letter
Low-Complexity Detection/Equalization in Large-Dimension MIMO-ISI Channels Using Graphical Models
In this paper, we deal with low-complexity near-optimal
detection/equalization in large-dimension multiple-input multiple-output
inter-symbol interference (MIMO-ISI) channels using message passing on
graphical models. A key contribution in the paper is the demonstration that
near-optimal performance in MIMO-ISI channels with large dimensions can be
achieved at low complexities through simple yet effective
simplifications/approximations, although the graphical models that represent
MIMO-ISI channels are fully/densely connected (loopy graphs). These include 1)
use of Markov Random Field (MRF) based graphical model with pairwise
interaction, in conjunction with {\em message/belief damping}, and 2) use of
Factor Graph (FG) based graphical model with {\em Gaussian approximation of
interference} (GAI). The per-symbol complexities are and
for the MRF and the FG with GAI approaches, respectively, where
and denote the number of channel uses per frame, and number of transmit
antennas, respectively. These low-complexities are quite attractive for large
dimensions, i.e., for large . From a performance perspective, these
algorithms are even more interesting in large-dimensions since they achieve
increasingly closer to optimum detection performance for increasing .
Also, we show that these message passing algorithms can be used in an iterative
manner with local neighborhood search algorithms to improve the
reliability/performance of -QAM symbol detection
Generalized Spatial Modulation in Large-Scale Multiuser MIMO Systems
Generalized spatial modulation (GSM) uses transmit antenna elements but
fewer transmit radio frequency (RF) chains, . Spatial modulation (SM)
and spatial multiplexing are special cases of GSM with and
, respectively. In GSM, in addition to conveying information bits
through conventional modulation symbols (for example, QAM), the
indices of the active transmit antennas also convey information bits.
In this paper, we investigate {\em GSM for large-scale multiuser MIMO
communications on the uplink}. Our contributions in this paper include: ()
an average bit error probability (ABEP) analysis for maximum-likelihood
detection in multiuser GSM-MIMO on the uplink, where we derive an upper bound
on the ABEP, and () low-complexity algorithms for GSM-MIMO signal detection
and channel estimation at the base station receiver based on message passing.
The analytical upper bounds on the ABEP are found to be tight at moderate to
high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). The proposed receiver algorithms are found
to scale very well in complexity while achieving near-optimal performance in
large dimensions. Simulation results show that, for the same spectral
efficiency, multiuser GSM-MIMO can outperform multiuser SM-MIMO as well as
conventional multiuser MIMO, by about 2 to 9 dB at a bit error rate of
. Such SNR gains in GSM-MIMO compared to SM-MIMO and conventional MIMO
can be attributed to the fact that, because of a larger number of spatial index
bits, GSM-MIMO can use a lower-order QAM alphabet which is more power
efficient.Comment: IEEE Trans. on Wireless Communications, accepte
