Abstract

This paper presents a technique for achieving cooperative spatial diversity using serially concatenated low density generator matrix (LDGM) codes. Specifically, we consider a scenario in which a pair or transceivers employ algebraic superposition of error control codes to effect spatial diversity at their common destination. The construction of LDGM codes from a sparse generator matrix makes them a natural fit for such a cooperative diversity scheme. The simple decoder structure for graph based codes reduces the complexity at the destination compared with previously-proposed schemes using algebraic superposition of convolutionaI codes and turbo-like decoding. The result is a system with low encoding and decoding complexity and improved error performance.
