“…The variance of the BSE module in the π‘-th iteration is expressed as Fig. 3: The number of multiplications needed by the HI [15], HF [16], AMI [13], PIC-DSC [19], MMSE [9], MMSE-SIC [12], AMP [28], OAMP [30], D-EP [27], EP-NSA [24], EPA [26], EP [21], B-PIC-DSC, and IB-PIC-DSC detectors Although (23) is just a restatement of (11), we write it to emphasize that π₯ (π‘) PIC,π in (23) must follow Assumption 1, expressed in (19). We can then iterate the computation of (π£ (π‘) , π (π‘) π ) in ( 20) or ( 21) and (23) until π£ (π‘) converges to a certain value, π£ (π‘) β π£ (π‘β1) β€ π .…”
