摘要
En 中文
In low-complexity long-range (LoRa) systems, the prevailing decoding technique is based on hard-decision information due to the computationally intensive nature of the conventional maximum a posteriori probability in log-domain (Max-Log-MAP) soft demapper. In this letter, we propose a sorting-based soft-demapping (SSD) algorithm for LoRa systems. Our proposed algorithm reduces the complexity order of the soft-demapper from O(M log M-2) to O(M), where M=2(SF) and SF represents the spreading factor, thus matching the complexity of hard decision. Importantly, this complexity reduction does not lead to any substantial performance degradation when compared to the Max-Log-MAP demapper. As a result, soft decoding can be employed in low-complexity LoRa systems to effectively enhance receiver sensitivity.
