Abstract

In this paper, a distribution matching technique is proposed to process the extrinsic information produced by practical multiple-antenna detectors with iteratively demodulated, bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM-ID). It is shown that significant gains may be achieved by appropriately processing the extrinsic information generated by practical multiple-antenna detectors before feeding it to the channel decoder. The validity of the proposed matching technique is shown via simulation results applied to Turbo-coded BICM-ID systems using (QRD)-M and list sphere detectors.
