Gaussian Approximation of the LLR Distribution for the ML and Partial Marginalization MIMO detectors

• We derive a Gaussian approximation of the LLR distribution  conditioned on the transmitted signal and the channel matrix for the  soft-output via partial marginalization MIMO detector. This detector  performs exact ML as a special case. Our main results consist of  discussing the operational meaning of this approximation and a proof  that, in the limit of high SNR, the LLR distribution of interest  converges in probability towards a Gaussian distribution.
