| contents | We propose a three-module extension of score-based VAMP (SC-VAMP) for signal recovery in nonlinear channels, where the received signal is obtained by applying a nonlinearity to a linear mixture of the transmitted signal, followed by additive Gaussian noise. The key idea is to introduce a latent variable representing the output of the linear mixing stage, which decomposes the inference problem into three modules: a likelihood module that handles the nonlinear observation via Gauss--Hermite quadrature, a coupling module that enforces the linear constraint between the transmitted signal and the latent variable via LMMSE estimation, and a denoiser module that incorporates the code constraint using belief propagation (BP) decoding. Each module exchanges extrinsic scalar-Gaussian messages with Onsager corrections derived from posterior variances that are computed in closed form or to quadrature accuracy. Numerical experiments with BPSK-modulated LDPC codewords transmitted through a hyperbolic tangent channel demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a clear waterfall in bit error rate (BER), with the gap to the capacity estimate narrowing as the block length increases from 128 to 2304. The framework provides a modular receiver architecture applicable to a broad class of nonlinear channels. Since only the likelihood module depends on the channel nonlinearity, the architecture readily adapts to other channel models by replacing a single module while leaving the coupling and decoder modules unchanged. |
