In this paper, we present a Joint Source-Channel Decoding algorithm (JSCD) for Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes by modifying the Sum-Product Algorithm (SPA) to account for the source redundancy, which results from the neighbouring Huffman coded bits. Simulations demonstrate that in the presence of source redundancy, the proposed algorithm gives better performance than the Separate Source and Channel Decoding algorithm (SSCD).
This paper considers the uplink of a cooperative Code-Division Multiple-Access (CDMA) system where parts of mobile nodes serve as source nodes while the others serve as relay nodes at any instant in time. When the non-orthogonal spreading codes are adopted, Multiple Access Interference (MAI) will exist at both the relay nodes and the base node, causing diversity gain to diminish. To mitigate MAI and exploit full advantages of cooperation, the Probabilistic Data Association (PDA) is developed at the relay nodes and the base node. Simulation results demonstrate that some performance gains can be obtained by the PDA detector over the Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) detector at high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and conversely at low SNR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
