Abstract

Sparse Code Multiple Access (SCMA) is a promising multiple access technology candidate for 5G wireless communication systems. The high detection complexity is its bottleneck. Stochastic computation is an ultra-low complexity digital signal processing technique in which probabilities are represented and processed with streams of random bits. In this paper, we propose a novel low complexity stochastic iterative detection approach for SCMA detection based on stochastic computation. We refer it as stochastic SCMA detector. Analysis and simulation results show that the proposed stochastic SCMA detector has only 36% hardware complexity compared to previous state-of-the-art soft input soft output (SISO) SCMA detector with satisfied BER performance.
