Capacity-Achieving Sparse Regression Codes via Vector Approximate Message Passing (2303.08406v1)
Published 15 Mar 2023 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: Sparse regression codes (SPARCs) are a promising coding scheme that can approach the Shannon limit over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels. Previous works have proven the capacity-achieving property of SPARCs with Gaussian design matrices. We generalize these results to right orthogonally invariant ensembles that allow for more structured design matrices. With the Vector Approximate Message Passing (VAMP) decoder, we rigorously demonstrate the exponentially decaying error probability for design matrices that satisfy a certain criterion with the exponentially decaying power allocation. For other spectra, we design a new power allocation scheme to show that the information theoretical threshold is achievable.
