Joint Decoding Architecture
Decoding is done by performing belief propagation over the receiver graph
Performs well at very high Sum-Rates
High decoding complexity for a large number of users
Requires either bit synchronism or timing knowledge of all the transmitters

Parallel Concatenated NL-TCs Increases complexity and latency with respect
to NLTC. Capacity achieving.
Design criteria: An extension of Benedetto’s uniform
interleaver analysis for parallel concatenated non-linear codes has been derived.
This analysis provides a good tool to design the constituent trellis codes.
NL-TC
Interleaver NL-TC
Parallel Concatenated NL-TCs The uniform interleaver analysis proposed by
Benedetto, evaluates the bit error probability of a parallel concatenated scheme averaged over all (equally likely) interleavers of a certain length.
Maximum-likelihood decoding is assumed. However, this analysis doesn’t directly apply to our
codes: It is applied to linear codes, the all-zero codeword is
assumed to be transmitted. The constituent NL-TCM codes are non-linear, hence all the possible codewords need to be considered.
In order to have a better control of the ones density, non-systematic trellis codes are used in our design. Benedetto’s analysis assumes systematic constituent codes.
An extension of the uniform interleaver analysis for non-linear constituent codes has been derived.

We can support any number of users in the OR-MAC with basically same decoding complexity for each user, and practically same performance.
Moreover:
Unused bits(Bunch of zeros)
Moreover: Denote N* the minimum number of users for
which n0 > M.
For every N greater than N* we can use the same encoder and decoder

Lower bound for Sum-rate For the Binary Asymmetric Channel, there is still a
strictly positive achievable sum-rate for any number of users.
For the Coherent Interference Model, the lower bound for the achievable sum-rate is around 48% (vs. 70% for Z-Channel).
Our target sum-rate for Non-linear trellis codes is 20% (vs. 30% for Z-Channel).
For Parallel Concatenated NL-TCs, our goal will be to achieve a sum-rate of 40%. These codes are under design.
Metric for Z-Channel We use a ‘greedy’ definition of distance (not
the usual Hamming distance). Directional distance between two codewords
(denoted ) is the number of positions at which has a 0 and has a 1.
‘Greedy’ definition of distance:

Design of NL-TCM for the BAC The metric of the Viterbi decoder for the BAC is:
Where and are the number of 0-to-1 and 1-to-0 transitions from the codeword and the received word , respectively.
The decoded codeword is: The directional distance between two codewords
(denoted ) is the number of positions at which has a 0 and has a 1.
Both directional distances are relevant when computing the probability of error.
A good criteria is maximize the minimum of both directional distances:
This is exactly the same criteria used for NL-TCM codes for the Z-Channel

Design of NL-TCM for the BAC Hence, although the metrics in the Viterbi
decoder are different on the Z-Channel and the BAC, we use the same design technique for both cases.
However, since the achievable rate is lower for the BAC, our target rate will be lower.
We have designed codes for the Coherent Interference Model. Nevertheless, this design technique applies to any model for the 1-to-0 transition probabilies.
Design of NL-TCM for the BAC Results (so far):
6-user MAC 128-state, rate 1/30 NLTC (Sum-rate = 0.2) Coherent interference model.
In order to achieve the same BER than in the OR Channel case:
The number of states had to be increased from 64 to 128 (Increase in complexity).
The sum-rate was decreased from 0.3 to 0.2. Simulations for larger number of users are running. Parallel concatenated NL-TCs are being designed for
this channel.
