Soft-Output MIMO Detection for BICM

This lecture covers the concept of Soft-Output MIMO Detection for Bit Interleaved Coded Modulation (BICM). It explains the process of encoding information bits, interleaving, mapping to constellation, demodulation, and channel decoding. The lecture delves into the computation of Log-Likelihood Ratios (LLRs) and their properties, as well as the BICM system model. It also discusses the challenges of needing an interleaver due to channel assumptions and the distribution of correlated bits. The lecture further explores computing LLRs in the scalar case, MIMO with BICM, and the performance of soft-output linear detection in wireless communications.
