Abstract: A factor graph description of transmitted signal estimation and inference is presented based on the likelihood detection model of the received signal in wireless communications.The sum-product algorithm is applied to the factor graph for iterative signal detection over the frequency selective channel in MIMO systems. Furthermore,a fast iterative detection algorithm is proposed to reduce the computational complexity,where a probabilistic data association method is introduced to avoid integral computation in the normal sum-product algorithm.Simulation results show that the proposed iterative signal detection algorithm using the normal sum-product algorithm approximates to optimum performance.The computational complexity of the fast iterative algorithm can be greatly reduced;meanwhile its bit error rate performance is also better than the traditional minimum mean square error algorithm.
