A number of study results demonstrated that the performance of the coded MIMO scheme can be highly enhanced by incorporating iterative decoding and detection scheme by exchanging soft information between the symbol detector and decoder. One of the critical problems of these iterative schemes is an exponential order of the complexity with increase of number of bits in a symbol and the number of antennas. In this paper, we present an efficient iterative detection and decoding scheme for MIMO systems with phase shift keying (PSK) modulation schemes and low density parity check (LDPC) codes. In order to reduce the complexity by the number of antennas, we adopt minimum mean square error (MMSE) based linear detection scheme with parallel interference cancellation. In addition, soft bit estimation is made only with a single distance calculation per bit, with approximating performance to the maximum likelihood detection1.
