The common receiver iteratively exchanges soft information between a joint soft demapper and the LDPC decoder associated to the transmitting nodes. The performance of the proposed system is compared, in terms of Frame Error Rate (FER) and through intensive Monte Carlo simulations, with the corresponding theoretical outage rate for different values of the spectral efficiency ρs of the overall setup. Two main conclusions are drawn: 1) small FER degradation is obtained as ρs increases; and 2) no diversity is lost with respect to the theoretical outage rate.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessconference output10.1109/VETECS.2011.5956367Computer Science ApplicationsElectrical and Electronic EngineeringApplied Mathematicshttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=80051985927&partnerID=8YFLogxK
