Fast convergence and reduced complexity receiver design for LDS-OFDM system

摘要

Low density signature for OFDM (LDS-OFDM) is able to achieve satisfactory performance in overloaded conditions, but the existing LDS-OFDM has the drawback of slow convergence rate for multiuser detection (MUD) and high receiver complexity. To tackle these problems, we propose a serial schedule for the iterative MUD. By doing so, the convergence rate of MUD is accelerated and the detection iterations can be decreased. Furthermore, in order to exploit the similar sparse structure of LDS-OFDM and LDPC code, we utilize LDPC codes for LDS-OFDM system. Simulations show that compared with existing LDS-OFDM, the LDPC code improves the system performance.
