Abstract
We propose a novel turbo detection scheme based on the factor graph serial-schedule belief propagation equalization algorithm with low complexity for single-carrier faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) and multicarrier FTN signaling. In this work, the additive white Gaussian noise channel and multi-path fading channels are both considered. The iterative factor graph-based equalization algorithm can deal with severe intersymbol interference and intercarrier interference introduced by the generation of single-carrier and multi-carrier FTN signals, as well as the effect of multi-path fading. With the application of Gaussian approximation, the complexity of the proposed equalization algorithm is significantly reduced. In the turbo detection, Low density parity check code is employed. The simulation results demonstrate that the factor graph-based turbo detection method can achieve satisfactory performance with low complexity.
