Clipping Noise Cancellation for Signal Detection of GSTFIM Systems

In this paper, a pair of clipping interference cancellation detectors based on symbol feedback and soft information are proposed for the generalized space-time-frequency index modulation (GSTFIM) systems. Specifically, the clipping interference is reconstructed by the prior information of the GSFTFIM symbol in these two detectors, then an iterative algorithm is developed for elimination and compensation of the clipping interference. The difference of these two proposed detectors lies in that the symbol feedback based interference cancellation (SFIC) detector completes the iteration through the hard decision symbol, while the soft information based interference cancellation (SIIC) detector iterates by the mean and variance of the estimated symbols. Simulation results show that the proposed two detectors can obtain flexible tradeoff between performance and complexity, compared to the traditional maximum likelihood (ML) detector with clipping interference.
