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
A Reduced Complexity Ungerboeck Receiver for Quantized Wideband Massive SC-MIMO
Employing low resolution analog-to-digital converters in massive
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) has many advantages in terms of total
power consumption, cost and feasibility of such systems. However, such
advantages come together with significant challenges in channel estimation and
data detection due to the severe quantization noise present. In this study, we
propose a novel iterative receiver for quantized uplink single carrier MIMO
(SC-MIMO) utilizing an efficient message passing algorithm based on the
Bussgang decomposition and Ungerboeck factorization, which avoids the use of a
complex whitening filter. A reduced state sequence estimator with bidirectional
decision feedback is also derived, achieving remarkable complexity reduction
compared to the existing receivers for quantized SC-MIMO in the literature,
without any requirement on the sparsity of the transmission channel. Moreover,
the linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) channel estimator for SC-MIMO
under frequency-selective channel, which do not require any cyclic-prefix
overhead, is also derived. We observe that the proposed receiver has
significant performance gains with respect to the existing receivers in the
literature under imperfect channel state information.Comment: This work has been submitted to the IEEE for possible publication.
