Abstract

This paper proposes a pilot-free repetition-based slotted ALOHA (PF-RSA) scheme for a massive random access system. The users utilize coded differential modulation and transmit with the repetition-based SA (RSA) protocol. The base station employs non-coherent detection and cancellation for recovering all users' messages. We develop a belief propagation (BP) based non-coherent detection and estimation which offers improved performance. It is demonstrated that the PF-RSA scheme can achieve almost the identical throughput of the conventional pilot-aided RSA while relaxing the need of pilots. We also show that the PF-RSA is applicable to massive access with asynchrony.
