Efficient Sphere-Decoding for Soft-Output Multiple-Symbol Differential Detection of DPSK
نویسندگان
چکیده
The sphere decoder (SD) is a powerful algorithm to reduce the computational complexity for multiple-symbol differential detection (MSDD) of differential phase-shift keying. To further increase the quality of the transmission, soft-output sphere decoding produces reliability information in the form of LLRs which are fed into the channel decoder. In this paper, we compare the basic SD algorithm with two variants, centered metric computation and LLR accumulation, with respect to performance and computational complexity. We show that especially the latter is able to improve the performance significantly and additionally allows a flexible tradeoff between performance and complexity by adjusting the number of accumulated LLRs.

"Turbo DPSK": iterative differential PSK demodulation and channel decoding
Multiple-symbol differential detection is known to fill the gap between conventional differential detection of PSK ( -DPSK) and coherent detection of -PSK with differential encoding ( -DEPSK). Emphasis has been so far on soft-input/hard-output detectors applied in uncoded systems. In this paper, we investigate a receiver structure suitable for coded DPSK signals on static and time-varying chann...
متن کاملApplication of Sphere Decoding to MSDD
In multiple-symbol differential detection (MSDD) for power-efficient transmission over fading channels without channel state information, blocks of N received symbols are jointly processed to decide on N − 1 data symbols. The search space for the maximum-likelihood (ML) estimate is therefore (complex) N−1 dimensional, and MSDD quickly becomes computationally intractable as N grows. Sphere decod...

In this paper, multiple-symbol differential detection (MSDD) is applied to differentially encoded LDPC (DE-LDPC) coded systems, which can avoid phase tracking and channel estimation and compensate the performance loss of conventional differential detection. In the studied systems, the outer iterative decoding is performed between the MSDD softinput soft-output demodulator (SISOD) and the LDPC d...

Problem statement: Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding has been applied for the uplink of a Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) system based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) channel from k users, which moves at vehicular speed, to the Base-Station (BS) is time-varying. For time-varying channels, Sphere Decoding (SD) was i...
