Abstract

In this paper, we propose an improved iterative receiver scheme for low density parity check (LDPC) codes transmitted over unknown channels affected by a strong phase noise. For achieving joint channel parameter estimation, data detection and decoding, the proposed algorithm utilizes the sum product algorithm (SPA) implemented on the factor graph (FG) that represents the joint a posteriori probability of information symbols and channel parameters given the channel output. Through the iterative use of the soft information on coded symbols from channel decoder, the proposed algorithm employs forward-backward recursions for message passing on the graph. Numerical results for binary LDPC codes show that, the proposed algorithm can be able to cope with a strong phase noise under unknown channel information and achieve nearly the same performance as the optimal coherent receiver under DVB-S2 compliant ESA phase noise model, and only a slightly decrease under strong Wiener model.
