On the Performance of LDPC-Coded Large Intelligent Antenna System

This article studies Large Intelligent Systems (LIS) along with Single Carrier with Frequency Domain Equalization (SC-FDE), utilizing Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC). Four different receivers are studied in the scenarios described above, namely Equal Gain Combining (EGC), Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC), Zero Forcing (ZF), and Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE). The results of this article show that the use of LDPC codes leads to an improvement of performance by about 2 dB for a 4X25 LIS system and by 3 dB for a 4X225 LIS system, as compared to similar systems without LDPC codes. Moreover, for all simulations, the MMSE receiver achieves the best overall performance, while EGC performs the worst.
