Avoiding Non-Integrable Beliefs in Expectation Propagation

Zilu Zhao, Jichao Chen, Dirk Slock

Expectation Propagation (EP) is a widely used iterative message-passing algorithm that decomposes a global inference problem into multiple local ones. It approximates marginal dist…

Approximating Univariate Factored Distributions via Message-Passing Algorithms

Zilu Zhao, Dirk Slock

Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) commonly arise in communication systems, particularly in bilinear joint estimation and detection problems. Although the product of GMMs is still a GM…

Bayesian Learning for Pilot Decontamination in Cell-Free Massive MIMO

Christian Forsch, Zilu Zhao, Dirk Slock +1

Pilot contamination (PC) arises when the pilot sequences assigned to user equipments (UEs) are not mutually orthogonal, eventually due to their reuse. In this work, we propose a no…

Distributed Iterative ML and Message Passing for Grant-Free Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems

Zilu Zhao, Christian Forsch, Laura Cottatellucci +1

Cell-Free (CF) Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MaMIMO) is considered one of the leading candidates for enabling next-generation wireless communication. With the growing int…

Decentralized Expectation Propagation for Semi-Blind Channel Estimation in Cell-Free Networks

Zilu Zhao, Dirk Slock

This paper serves as a correction to the conference version. In this work, we explore uplink communication in cell-free (CF) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MaMIMO) systems…
