Near BER optimal partial response codes
Partial response signaling (PRS) codes with maximal minimum Euclidean distance have previously been found by linear programming. These perform very well in the narrowband-high energy region, but they were not optimized for minimal bit error rate (BER), so they are only optimal in the limit of infinite signal to noise ratio. Here we search for codes that perform better for more practical signal to noise ratios. The BER objective function is no longer linear, but it is still conve
An optimization method for designing high rate and high performance SCTCM systems with in-line interleavers
We present a method for designing high-rate, high-performance SCTCM systems with in-line interleavers. Using in-line EXIT charts and ML performance analysis, we develop criteria for choosing constituent codes and optimization methods for selecting the best ones. To illustrate our methods, we show that an optimized SCTCM system with an in-line interleaver for rate r = 5/6 and 64QAM has better performance than other turbo-like TCMs with the same parameters
Interior Point Decoding for Linear Vector Channels
In this paper, a novel decoding algorithm for low-density parity-check (LDPC)
codes based on convex optimization is presented. The decoding algorithm, called
interior point decoding, is designed for linear vector channels. The linear
vector channels include many practically important channels such as inter
symbol interference channels and partial response channels. It is shown that
the maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) rule for a linear vector channel can be
relaxed to a convex optimization problem, which is called a relaxed MLD
problem. The proposed decoding algorithm is based on a numerical optimization
technique so called interior point method with barrier function. Approximate
variations of the gradient descent and the Newton methods are used to solve the
convex optimization problem. In a decoding process of the proposed algorithm, a
search point always lies in the fundamental polytope defined based on a
low-density parity-check matrix. Compared with a convectional joint message
passing decoder, the proposed decoding algorithm achieves better BER
performance with less complexity in the case of partial response channels in
many cases.Comment: 18 pages, 17 figures, The paper has been submitted to IEEE

Low Complexity Noncoherent Iterative Detector for Continuous Phase Modulation Systems
This paper focuses on the noncoherent iterative detection of continuous phase modulation. A class of simplified receivers based on Principal-Component-Analysis (PCA) and Exponential-Window (EW) is developed. The proposed receiver is evaluated in terms of minimum achievable Euclidean distance, simulated bit error rate and achievable capacity. The performance of the proposed receiver is discussed in the context of mismatched receiver and the equivalent Euclidean distance is derived. Analysis and numerical results reveal that the proposed algorithm can approach the coherent performance and outperforms existing algorithm in terms of complexity and performance. It is shown that the proposed receiver can significantly reduce the detection complexity while the performance is comparable with existing algorithms
Graph-Based Decoding in the Presence of ISI
We propose an approximation of maximum-likelihood detection in ISI channels
based on linear programming or message passing. We convert the detection
problem into a binary decoding problem, which can be easily combined with LDPC
decoding. We show that, for a certain class of channels and in the absence of
coding, the proposed technique provides the exact ML solution without an
exponential complexity in the size of channel memory, while for some other
channels, this method has a non-diminishing probability of failure as SNR
increases. Some analysis is provided for the error events of the proposed
technique under linear programming.Comment: 25 pages, 8 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information

Channel Hardening-Exploiting Message Passing (CHEMP) Receiver in Large-Scale MIMO Systems
In this paper, we propose a MIMO receiver algorithm that exploits {\em
channel hardening} that occurs in large MIMO channels. Channel hardening refers
to the phenomenon where the off-diagonal terms of the matrix
become increasingly weaker compared to the diagonal terms as the size of the
channel gain matrix increases. Specifically, we propose a message
passing detection (MPD) algorithm which works with the real-valued matched
filtered received vector (whose signal term becomes ,
where is the transmitted vector), and uses a Gaussian approximation
on the off-diagonal terms of the matrix. We also propose a
simple estimation scheme which directly obtains an estimate of (instead of an estimate of ), which is used as an effective
channel estimate in the MPD algorithm. We refer to this receiver as the {\em
channel hardening-exploiting message passing (CHEMP)} receiver. The proposed
CHEMP receiver achieves very good performance in large-scale MIMO systems
(e.g., in systems with 16 to 128 uplink users and 128 base station antennas).
For the considered large MIMO settings, the complexity of the proposed MPD
algorithm is almost the same as or less than that of the minimum mean square
error (MMSE) detection. This is because the MPD algorithm does not need a
matrix inversion. It also achieves a significantly better performance compared
to MMSE and other message passing detection algorithms using MMSE estimate of
. We also present a convergence analysis of the proposed MPD
algorithm. Further, we design optimized irregular low density parity check
(LDPC) codes specific to the considered large MIMO channel and the CHEMP
receiver through EXIT chart matching. The LDPC codes thus obtained achieve
improved coded bit error rate performance compared to off-the-shelf irregular
LDPC codes
Analytical Bit Error Rate Performance of DS-CDMA Ad Hoc Networks using Large Area Synchronous Spreading Sequences
The performance of large area synchronous (LAS) direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) assisted ad hoc networks is investigated in the context of a single-hop infinite mesh of rectilinearly located ad hoc nodes. It is shown that LAS DS-CDMA exhibits a significantly better performance than the family of traditional spreading sequences used in a quasisynchronous DS-CDMA scenario having a low number of resolvable multipath components and a sufficiently high number of RAKE receiver branches. The benefits of LAS codes in ad hoc networks are multifold: (i) Their performance is noise-limited, rather than interference-limited, provided that the multipath and multi-user interference arrives within their interference free window. (ii) Under the same conditions LAS codes are robust against the ‘near–far’ effects imposed by ad hoc networks operating without base-station-aided power control, without accurate synchronisation and without implementationally complex interference cancellers
