Iterative Detection and Decoding for MIMO Systems with Knowledge-Aided Message Passing Algorithms

In this paper, we consider the problem of iterative detection and decoding (IDD) for multi-antenna systems using low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. The proposed IDD system consists of a soft-input soft-output parallel interference (PIC) cancellation scheme with linear minimum mean-square error (MMSE) receive filters and two novel belief propagation (BP) decoding algorithms. The proposed BP algorithms exploit the knowledge of short cycles in the graph structure and the reweighting factors derived from the hypergraph's expansion. Simulation results show that when used to perform IDD for multi-antenna systems both proposed BP decoding algorithms can consistently outperform existing BP techniques with a small number of decoding iterations.
