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
Beamforming and Power Splitting Designs for AN-aided Secure Multi-user MIMO SWIPT Systems
In this paper, an energy harvesting scheme for a multi-user
multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) secrecy channel with artificial noise
(AN) transmission is investigated. Joint optimization of the transmit
beamforming matrix, the AN covariance matrix, and the power splitting ratio is
conducted to minimize the transmit power under the target secrecy rate, the
total transmit power, and the harvested energy constraints. The original
problem is shown to be non-convex, which is tackled by a two-layer
decomposition approach. The inner layer problem is solved through semi-definite
relaxation, and the outer problem, on the other hand, is shown to be a single-
variable optimization that can be solved by one-dimensional (1- D) line search.
To reduce computational complexity, a sequential parametric convex
approximation (SPCA) method is proposed to find a near-optimal solution. The
work is then extended to the imperfect channel state information case with
norm-bounded channel errors. Furthermore, tightness of the relaxation for the
proposed schemes are validated by showing that the optimal solution of the
relaxed problem is rank-one. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed
SPCA method achieves the same performance as the scheme based on 1-D but with
much lower complexity.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures, submitted for possible publicatio
Turbo-Equalization Using Partial Gaussian Approximation
This paper deals with turbo-equalization for coded data transmission over
intersymbol interference (ISI) channels. We propose a message-passing algorithm
that uses the expectation-propagation rule to convert messages passed from the
demodulator-decoder to the equalizer and computes messages returned by the
equalizer by using a partial Gaussian approximation (PGA). Results from Monte
Carlo simulations show that this approach leads to a significant performance
improvement compared to state-of-the-art turbo-equalizers and allows for
trading performance with complexity. We exploit the specific structure of the
ISI channel model to significantly reduce the complexity of the PGA compared to
that considered in the initial paper proposing the method.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, submitted to IEEE Signal Processing Letters on 8

Hybrid Message Passing Algorithm for Downlink FDD Massive MIMO-OFDM Channel Estimation
The design of message passing algorithms on factor graphs has been proven to
be an effective manner to implement channel estimation in wireless
communication systems. In Bayesian approaches, a prior probability model that
accurately matches the channel characteristics can effectively improve
estimation performance. In this work, we study the channel estimation problem
in a frequency division duplexing (FDD) downlink massive multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
system. As the prior probability, we propose the Markov chain two-state
Gaussian mixture with large variance difference (TSGM-LVD) model to exploit the
structured sparsity in the angle-frequency domain of the massive MIMO-OFDM
channel. In addition, we present a new method to derive the hybrid message
passing (HMP) rule, which can calculate the message with mixed linear and
non-linear model. To the best of the authors' knowledge, we are the first to
apply the HMP rule to practical communication systems, designing the
HMP-TSGM-LVD algorithm under the structured turbo-compressed sensing (STCS)
framework. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed HMP-TSGM-LVD
algorithm converges faster and outperforms its counterparts under a wide range
of simulation settings
