Non-Coherent LDPC Decoding on Graphs

Within this paper graph based non-coherent decoding algorithms for LDPC encoded systems are proposed. We study a class of LDPC codes suitable for non-coherent detection. On the basis of the related graphs a non-coherent decoding algorithm with variable trade-off between computational complexity and BER performance is derived. The proposed scheme is also capable to deal with pilot symbols if available. Finally, the excellent performance of the proposed methods is verified by simulations
