Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) is a promising multiple access technology candidate for the next-generation communication system, which can dramatically improve spectral efficiency. However, the major challenge of SCMA is the very high detection complexity. Stochastic computing is a new number representation, which can carry out complex computations with very simple logics. In this paper, we extend the application of stochastic computing to SCMA detection and propose a low complexity stochastic SCMA detector. We also design three novel stochastic logic architectures: a new low hardware cost bit stream generation architecture, a low hardware cost stochastic function node update architecture and a fast converging stochastic variable node update architecture. Analysis and simulation results show that the proposed stochastic SCMA detector saves 69% complexity compared with the traditional SCMA detectors with a comparable bit error rate performance. The synthesis results with SIMC 65-nm CMOS technology show that the proposed stochastic SCMA detector achieves 640 Mbps total system throughput with only 1.45-mm(2) cell area.
