“…The variance of the BSE module in the 𝑡-th iteration is expressed as Fig. 3: The number of multiplications needed by the HI [15], HF [16], AMI [13], PIC-DSC [19], MMSE [9], MMSE-SIC [12], AMP [28], OAMP [30], D-EP [27], EP-NSA [24], EPA [26], EP [21], B-PIC-DSC, and IB-PIC-DSC detectors Although (23) is just a restatement of (11), we write it to emphasize that 𝑥 (𝑡) PIC,𝑘 in (23) must follow Assumption 1, expressed in (19). We can then iterate the computation of (𝑣 (𝑡) , 𝑉 (𝑡) 𝑘 ) in ( 20) or ( 21) and (23) until 𝑣 (𝑡) converges to a certain value, 𝑣 (𝑡) − 𝑣 (𝑡−1) ≤ 𝜁 .…”
