Dual-turbo receiver architecture for turbo coded MIMO-OFDM systems

Abstract

This paper presents a novel architecture of iterative receivers with two layers of iterations for turbo coded multiple-input and multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems, where soft messages are passed not only between the MIMO detector and the turbo decoder, but also between the two component decoders within the turbo decoder. We first derive the factor graph representation of a turbo coded system as a basic building block for developing the iterative receivers. Then, a new soft message passing schedule over the factor graph is proposed, resulting in the proposed dual-turbo receiver architecture (DTRA). In DTRA, the MIMO detector and the turbo decoder work concurrently, and the soft messages for both layers of iterations are updated instantaneously, instead of the block-based exchange of soft messages in the conventional iterative receivers. In so doing, the processing latency can be greatly reduced while low computational complexity can be achieved. CitationWang W J, Gao X Q, Wu X F, et al.

Low area FPGA Implementation of Secure MIMO OFDM based Wireless ECG Signal Transmission

“…In MIMO channel, the theoretical capacity limits are obtained using the capacity-approaching code with turbo decoding in the receiver [10]. In receiver antenna, the transmitted data streams are separated from the received signals using the MIMO decoder at receiver components [11].…”

MMSE SQRD based SISO detection for coded MIMO-OFDM systems

“…However, the computational complexity of the ML receiver, which increases exponentially with some parameters, such as the MIMO systems size, channels coding block size, limits its use for practice [6]. Iterative (Turbo) processing technique provides a convincing solution to approach the performance of the ML receiver in a computationally efficient manner [7]. The near-optimal performance of turbo receivers is achieved by exchanging soft extrinsic information between a soft-input soft-output (SISO) detector and an SISO decoder in an iterative fashion [8].…”
