An Improved Simplified-CE Stopping Criterion for BICM-ID System
Bit-interleaved coded modulation iterative decoding (BICM-ID) is an excellent bandwidth efficient transmission scheme,which owns remarkable bit-error-rate (BER) performance both in additive Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and Rayleigh fading channel.But it leads to the increase of computational complexity and decoding delay at the receiver at the same time. In order to decrease the unnecessary iterations ,a variety of the stopping criteria are put forward . This paper presents an improved simplified cross-entropy (CE) stopping criterion based on Simplified-CE criterion, which calculates the value of CE just one time when Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is under 2dB to simplified the iterative process. Simulation results show that the improved Simplified-CE criterion can own the least iterative number when the SNR is under 2dB.And when the SNR is from 2.5dB to 4dB, it is about 12% less than CE criterion in the average iterative numbers.
