BP, MF, and EP for Joint Channel Estimation and Detection of MIMO-OFDM Signals
2016
Receiver algorithms which combine belief propagation (BP) with the mean field (MF) approximation are well-suited for inference of both continuous and discrete random variables. In wireless scenarios involving detection of multiple signals, the standard construction of the combined BP-MF framework includes the equalization or multi-user detection functions within the MF subgraph. However, the MF approximation is not particularly effective for multi-signal detection. For this reason, we propose a new factor graph construction for application of the BP-MF framework to problems involving the detection of multiple signals. We also developed a low-complexity variation to the proposed construction in which Gaussian BP is applied to detection and expectation propagation links the discrete BP and Gaussian BP subgraphs. The result is a probabilistic receiver architecture with strong theoretical justification which can be applied to multi-signal detection and, in general, detection in the presence of interference.
