Enabling Massive Index Modulation Systems via Combinatorics-Free Detection

Index modulation (IM) is one of the key enabling technologies for beyond fifth generation (B5G) and sixth generation (6G) wireless systems, attracting attention for its inherent energy and spectral efficiency resulting from conveying information through the indexation of the resources utilized in during signal transmission. However, a remaining critical bottleneck for large-scale IM is the consequently infeasible detection complexity of combinatoric order. Therefore in this article, in order to maximally reap the advantages of IM in large scenarios, we propose a novel message passing (MP) decoder designed under the Gaussian belief propagation (GaBP) framework exploiting a novel unit vector decomposition (UVD) of IM signals with purpose-derived novel probability distributions. The proposed method enjoys a low decoding complexity that is independent of previously prohibitive combinatorial factors, while still approach-ing the performance of unfeasible state-of-the-art (SotA) search-based methods. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated via complexity analysis and numerical results for the exemplary piloted generalized quadrature spatial modulation (GQSM) systems of truly massive sizes (up to 96 antennas).

Physics-Aware Decoding for Communication Channels Governed by Partial Differential Equations

Digital communication systems inherently operate through physical media governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). In this paper, we introduce a physics-aware decoding framework that integrates gradient descent-based error correcting algorithms with PDE-based channel modeling using differentiable PDE solvers. At the core of our approach is gradient flow decoding, which harnesses gradient information directly from the PDE solver to guide the decoding process. We validate our method through numerical experiments on both the heat equation and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE), demonstrating significant improvements in decoding performance. The implications of this work extend beyond decoding applications, establishing a new paradigm for physics-aware signal processing that shows promise for various signal detection and signal recovery tasks.

Discrete-Valued Signal Estimation via Low-Complexity Message Passing Algorithm for Highly Correlated Measurements

This paper considers a discrete-valued signal estimation scheme based on a low-complexity Bayesian optimal message passing algorithm (MPA) for solving massive linear inverse problems under highly correlated measurements. Gaussian belief propagation (GaBP) can be derived by applying the central limit theorem (CLT)-based Gaussian approximation to the sum-product algorithm (SPA) operating on a dense factor graph (FG), while matched filter (MF)-expectation propagation (EP) can be obtained based on the EP framework tailored for the same FG. Generalized approximate message passing (GAMP) can be found by applying a rigorous approximation technique for both of them in the large-system limit, and these three MPAs perform signal detection using MF by assuming large-scale uncorrelated observations. However, each of them has a different inherent self-noise suppression mechanism, which makes a significant difference in the robustness against the correlation of the observations when we apply an annealed discrete denoiser (ADD) that adaptively controls its nonlinearity with the inverse temperature parameter corresponding to the number of iterations. In this paper, we unravel the mechanism of this interesting phenomenon, and further demonstrate the practical applicability of the low-complexity Bayesian optimal MPA with ADD under highly correlated measurements.

Grant-Free Access via Bilinear Inference for Cell-Free MIMO with Low-Coherent Pilots

We propose a novel joint activity, channel, and data estimation (JACDE) scheme for cell-free multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems compliant with fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signaling. The contribution aims to allow significant overhead reduction of cell-free MIMO systems by enabling grant-free access, while maintaining moderate throughput per user. To that end, we extend the conventional MIMO OFDM protocol so as to incorporate activity detection capability without resorting to spreading informative data symbols, in contrast with related work which typically relies on signal spreading. Our method leverages a Bayesian message passing scheme based on Gaussian approximation, which jointly performs active user detection (AUD), channel estimation (CE), and multi-user detection (MUD), incorporating also a well-structured low-coherent pilot design based on frame theory, which mitigates pilot contamination, and finally complemented with a detector empowered by bilinear message passing. The efficacy of the resulting JACDE-based grant-free access scheme without spreading data sequences is demonstrated by simulation results, which are shown to significantly outperform the current state-of-the-art and approach the performance of an idealized (genie-aided) scheme in which user activity and channel coefficients are perfectly known.

Layered Belief Propagation for Low-complexity Large MIMO Detection Based on Statistical Beams

This paper proposes a novel layered belief propagation (BP) detector with a concatenated structure of two different BP layers for low-complexity large multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) detection based on statistical beams. To reduce the computational burden and the circuit scale on the base station (BS) side, the two-stage signal processing consisting of slow varying outer beamformer (OBF) and group-specific MU detection (MUD) for fast channel variations is effective. However, the dimensionality reduction of the equivalent channel based on the OBF results in significant performance degradation in subsequent spatial filtering detection. To compensate for the drawback, the proposed layered BP detector, which is designed for improving the detection capability by suppressing the intra- and inter-group interference in stages, is introduced as the post-stage processing of the OBF. Finally, we demonstrate the validity of our proposed method in terms of the bit error rate (BER) performance and the computational complexity.
