An Iterative Receiver for OFDM With Sparsity-Based Parametric Channel Estimation
In this work we design a receiver that iteratively passes soft information
between the channel estimation and data decoding stages. The receiver
incorporates sparsity-based parametric channel estimation. State-of-the-art
sparsity-based iterative receivers simplify the channel estimation problem by
restricting the multipath delays to a grid. Our receiver does not impose such a
restriction. As a result it does not suffer from the leakage effect, which
destroys sparsity. Communication at near capacity rates in high SNR requires a
large modulation order. Due to the close proximity of modulation symbols in
such systems, the grid-based approximation is of insufficient accuracy. We show
numerically that a state-of-the-art iterative receiver with grid-based sparse
channel estimation exhibits a bit-error-rate floor in the high SNR regime. On
the contrary, our receiver performs very close to the perfect channel state
information bound for all SNR values. We also demonstrate both theoretically
and numerically that parametric channel estimation works well in dense
channels, i.e., when the number of multipath components is large and each
individual component cannot be resolved.Comment: Major revision, accepted for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
Deep Learning Based on Orthogonal Approximate Message Passing for CP-Free OFDM
Channel estimation and signal detection are very challenging for an
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system without cyclic prefix
(CP). In this article, deep learning based on orthogonal approximate message
passing (DL-OAMP) is used to address these problems. The DL-OAMP receiver
includes a channel estimation neural network (CE-Net) and a signal detection
neural network based on OAMP, called OAMP-Net. The CE-Net is initialized by the
least square channel estimation algorithm and refined by minimum mean-squared
error (MMSE) neural network. The OAMP-Net is established by unfolding the
iterative OAMP algorithm and adding some trainable parameters to improve the
detection performance. The DL-OAMP receiver is with low complexity and can
estimate time-varying channels with only a single training. Simulation results
demonstrate that the bit-error rate (BER) of the proposed scheme is lower than
those of competitive algorithms for high-order modulation.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, updated manuscript, International Conference on

Receiver Architectures for MIMO-OFDM Based on a Combined VMP-SP Algorithm
Iterative information processing, either based on heuristics or analytical
frameworks, has been shown to be a very powerful tool for the design of
efficient, yet feasible, wireless receiver architectures. Within this context,
algorithms performing message-passing on a probabilistic graph, such as the
sum-product (SP) and variational message passing (VMP) algorithms, have become
increasingly popular.
In this contribution, we apply a combined VMP-SP message-passing technique to
the design of receivers for MIMO-ODFM systems. The message-passing equations of
the combined scheme can be obtained from the equations of the stationary points
of a constrained region-based free energy approximation. When applied to a
MIMO-OFDM probabilistic model, we obtain a generic receiver architecture
performing iterative channel weight and noise precision estimation,
equalization and data decoding. We show that this generic scheme can be
particularized to a variety of different receiver structures, ranging from
high-performance iterative structures to low complexity receivers. This allows
for a flexible design of the signal processing specially tailored for the
requirements of each specific application. The numerical assessment of our
solutions, based on Monte Carlo simulations, corroborates the high performance
of the proposed algorithms and their superiority to heuristic approaches
