New Results on Monte Carlo Bit Error Simulation Based on the A Posteriori Log-Likelihood Ratio
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are two methods for estimating the bit error probability of a transmission system via Monte Carlo simulation, when the decoder outputs a-posteriori log-likelihood ratios (LLR). The first method, which is the conventional one, is based on the sign of the LLR, whereas the second method is based on the magnitude of the LLR. In this paper, the two methods are compared by means of their estimation variances. Furthermore, the optimal linear combination of the two methods is considered. The superiority of second method over the first one will be proven.

Log-Likelihood Values and Monte Carlo Simulation – Some Fundamental Results
The purpose of this paper is twofold: We derive some fundamental properties of log-likelihood ratio (LLR) values and propose two novel “soft-decision” Monte Carlo simulation techniques based on probabilities or LLR values. Specifically, we prove that the pdf of LLR values is exponential symmetric and demonstrate that soft-decision simulation outperforms conventional bit error rate simulations w...
متن کاملA New Method for Performance Evaluation of Turbo-Codes Using Statistics of the Log Likelihood Ratio
In this paper1, we present a new method for the performance evaluation of Turbo-Codes. The method is based on estimating the Probability Density Function (pdf ) of the bit Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) by using an exponential model. It is widely known that the pdf of the bit LLR is close to the normal density, and the proposed approach takes advantage of this property to simplify the calculations....
متن کاملSimulation-Based Radar Detection Methods
In this paper, radar detection based on Monte Carlo sampling is studied. Two detectors based on Importance Sampling are presented. In these detectors, called Particle Detector, the approximated likelihood ratio is calculated by Monte Carlo sampling. In the first detector, the unknown parameters are first estimated and are substituted in the likelihood ratio (like the GLRT method). In the sec...
