Tóm tắt

In this paper, we present an efficient transmission scheme for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, i.e., coded spatial modulation (SM) systems with soft-decision aided detector. To exploit the powerful error correction of channel coding, the key challenge of coded SM systems is on designing a reliable but low-complexity soft-output detector. Fighting against this problem, we first propose two soft-output detection algorithms by exploiting the features of M-phase-shift keying (PSK) and M-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations, namely, PSK-based soft-output detector (PBSD) and QAM-based soft-output detector (QBSD). Furthermore, to further enhance the performance of the two algorithms, we propose another two soft-output detection algorithms taking into account of counterpart maximum-likelihood (ML) estimate, namely, improved PSK-based soft-output detector (IPBSD) and improved QAM-based soft-output detector (IQBSD). The findings of this paper demonstrate that: (1) The computational complexity of PBSD and QBSD algorithms are much lower than that of Max-Log-LLR algorithm at the expense of error performance. (2) Both the IPBSD and IQBSD algorithms achieve the same performance as Max-Log-LLR algorithm with reduced computational complexity. In addition, a comprehensive performance and computational complexity comparison between the proposed algorithms and the Max-Log-LLR algorithm is provided to verify our proposed low-complexity soft-output detectors.
