TLDR
It is shown that the computational complexity of the exact max-log maximum a posteriori (max-log-MAP) solution grows linearly with the constellation size and is also less than that of the best known methods of Turbo-LORD that only provide approximate solutions.
Abstract
A dual-layer multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with multi-level modulation is considered. A computationally efficient soft-input soft-output receiver based on the exact max-log maximum a posteriori (max-log-MAP) principle is presented in the context of iterative detection and decoding. We show that the computational complexity of our exact max-log-MAP solution grows linearly with the constellation size and is also less than that of the best known methods of Turbo-LORD that only provide approximate solutions. Using decoder feedback to change the decision thresholds of the constellation symbols, we show that the exhaustive search operation boils down to a simple slicing operation.
