Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the physical layer abstraction for bit interleaved coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (BIC-OFDM) system from a parallel bit channel perspective. By combining the exponential effective SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) mapping (EESM) with the maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm, a bit LLR (log-likelihood ratio) wise EESM (BL-EESM) method is proposed. This method can abstract the link performance with high accuracy, especially for the case when channel estimation is imperfect. Afterward, the BL-EESM method is simplified by utilizing the non-linear quantization idea, which can reduce the times of exponential operation by two orders of magnitude at wide system bandwidth, yet shows little loss in accuracy. Our proposal can be applied to both system level simulations to save the time consumption and to practical terminals to facilitate the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) procedure, bringing about throughput improvement at low hardware cost.
