Adaptive iterative detectors for phase-uncertain channels via variational bounding
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The problem of iterative detection/decoding of data symbols transmitted over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel in the presence of phase uncertainty is addressed in this paper. By modelling the phase uncertainty either as an unknown deterministic variable/process or random variable/ process with a known a priori probability density function, a number of non-Bayesian and Bayesian detection algorithms with various amount of suboptimality have been proposed in the literature to solve the problem. In this paper, a new set of suboptimal iterative detection algorithms is obtained by utilizing the variational bounding technique. Especially, applying the generic variational Bayesian (VB) framework, efficient iterative joint estimation and detection/decoding schemes are derived for the constant phase model as well as for the dynamic phase model. In addition, the relation of the VB-based approach to the optimal noncoherent receiver as well as to the classical approach via the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is provided. Performance of the proposed detectors in the presence of a strong dynamic phase noise is compared to the performance of the existing detectors. Furthermore, an incremental scheduling of the VB (or EM) algorithm is shown to reduce the overall complexity of the receiver.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
