A soft-in soft-out detection approach using partial Gaussian approximation

This paper concerns the implementation of the soft-in soft-out detector in an iterative detection system. A detection approach is proposed based on the properties of Gaussian functions. In this approach, for the computation of the APP (a posteriori probability) of a concerned symbol, the other symbo...
