Interference Alignment via Message-Passing
We introduce an iterative solution to the problem of interference alignment
(IA) over MIMO channels based on a message-passing formulation. We propose a
parameterization of the messages that enables the computation of IA precoders
by a min-sum algorithm over continuous variable spaces -- under this
parameterization, suitable approximations of the messages can be computed in
closed-form. We show that the iterative leakage minimization algorithm of
Cadambe et al. is a special case of our message-passing algorithm, obtained for
a particular schedule. Finally, we show that the proposed algorithm compares
favorably to iterative leakage minimization in terms of convergence speed, and
discuss a distributed implementation.Comment: Submitted to the IEEE International Conference on Communications

Spatially-Coupled LDPC Codes for Decode-and-Forward Relaying of Two Correlated Sources over the BEC
We present a decode-and-forward transmission scheme based on
spatially-coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes for a network
consisting of two (possibly correlated) sources, one relay, and one
destination. The links between the nodes are modeled as binary erasure
channels. Joint source-channel coding with joint channel decoding is used to
exploit the correlation. The relay performs network coding. We derive
analytical bounds on the achievable rates for the binary erasure time-division
multiple-access relay channel with correlated sources. We then design bilayer
SC-LDPC codes and analyze their asymptotic performance for this scenario. We
prove analytically that the proposed coding scheme achieves the theoretical
limit for symmetric channel conditions and uncorrelated sources. Using density
evolution, we furthermore demonstrate that our scheme approaches the
theoretical limit also for non-symmetric channel conditions and when the
sources are correlated, and we observe the threshold saturation effect that is
typical for spatially-coupled systems. Finally, we give simulation results for
large block lengths, which validate the DE analysis.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Communications, to appea
