Shuffled iterative receiver for LDPC-coded MIMO systems

In this paper, we consider the low density parity check (LDPC) coded multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system with iterative detection and decoding (IDD). Since the traditional frame-by-frame receiver scheme suffers from a huge decoding delay, we propose an efficient scheme with a shuffled structure between the demapper and decoder, which adopts group vertical shuffled belief propagation (BP) algorithm. The proposed shuffled iterative receiver converges faster and significantly reduces the delay introduced by the IDD process. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed shuffled iterative receiver exhibits several tenths dB of signal-to-noise ratio gain in comparison to the existing schemes, while imposing a much lower average number of iterations for the IDD process.
