Abstract:We consider iterative decoding of repeat-accumulate (RA) codes over frequency-flat, quasi-static fading channels. A soft-input, soft-output decoder is proposed for the inner convolutional decoding, which fuses the decoding approach of the soft-output Viterbi algorithm and the estimation approach of the maximum-likelihood sequence detector. The decoder deploys trellis search algorithm based on the generalized likelihood ratio test, whereby the channel state information is acquired implicitly using both the pilo… Show more
