Abstract:
We present multidimensional mapping (MdM) as a generalized way how to assign input bits to symbol vectors for spatial multiplexing multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) transmission with iterative detection. Design goal is to minimize bit error floor by means of EXIT chart and pairwise error probability under the assumption of perfect a priori knowledge at the demapper. We propose an effective description of MdM based on block code generator matrices. The presented MdMs achieve minimal error floor and turbo cliff positions close to capacity limit.
