An Approach to Asynchronous Unsourced Random Access

In this work we propose an approach to construct a fully asynchronous unsourced random access communications (URA) system. Besides the common URA features such as the absence of the user identification information in the packet and the decoding oriented to receiving the content of the messages, there is no limitation on the user transmission timing. The active users can transmit their packet any time on demand. The proposed system belongs to the class of preamble-payload URA formats. Contrary to the typical role of the preamble to serve as a temporary user identification, the preamble serves for the purpose of timing acquisition. The proposed system also employs a very small pool of preambles to resolve collisions of packets transmitted simultaneously.We provide a performance analysis and simulation results for the proposed system and demonstrate that for a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios (SNR)s the supported numbers of active users are close to the numbers of users supported by a slotted URA system counterpart.

Novel LDPC Decoder via MLP Neural Networks

In this paper, a new method for decoding Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, based on Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks is proposed. Due to the fact that in neural networks all procedures are processed in parallel, this method can be considered as a viable alternative to Message Passing Algorithm (MPA), with high computational complexity. Our proposed algorithm runs with soft criterion and concurrently does not use probabilistic quantities to decide what the estimated codeword is. Although the neural decoder performance is close to the error performance of Sum Product Algorithm (SPA), it is comparatively less complex. Therefore, the proposed decoder emerges as a new infrastructure for decoding LDPC codes.
