Optimum soft decision demodulation for ISI channels

Two different methods of soft-decision demodulation for channels with finite intersymbol interference (ISI) in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) are analyzed. In both schemes, the cutoff rate R₀ of the discrete channel created by the demodulator output quantization is chosen as the design criterion. Expressions for the optimal thresholds of the quantizer associated with the demodulation of binary signals are derived. Results for the channel with memory equal to one symbol duration are presented. As a special case, the (1-D) channel with soft decision demodulation is analyzed. Closed-form solutions show that a 4-b quantizer improves performance substantially in this case     

Soft decision decoding of block codes using received signalenvelope in digital mobile radio

The codeword error rate (WER) performance of noncoherent frequency-shift keying with soft decision decoding of block codes using Chase's second algorithm (1972) is investigated in a Rayleigh fading channel. The received signal envelope is sampled and used as channel measurement information. The theoretical upper and lower bounds of the WER are derived, assuming independent Rayleigh envelope samples in a received block. When the Golay (23, 12, 7) code is used, soft decision decoding with 6-bit error correction capability (3-bit error and 3-bit erasure) requires an average signal-to-noise power ratio about 5 dB lower than that for minimum distance decoding with 3-bit error correction to obtain a WER=10^-3. The effects of bit interleaving on the WER performance when fading envelope variation is slow compared to the bit rate are investigated through computer simulations     

The Impact of Mismatch on the Performance of Coded Narrow-Band FM with Limiter/Discriminator Detection

The performance of uncoded narrow-band FM with limiter/discriminator (L/D) detection over the additive white Gaussian noise channel has received widespread attention [1]-[14] over the years both from simulation and analytical standpoints. By comparison, little or nothing has appeared in the literature for the performance of this modulation/demodulation technique when used together with coding/decoding. The purpose of this paper is to partially fill this void by considering the potential gain offered by the combination of convolutionally encoded narrow-band FM with L/D detection and Viterbi decoding. Both hard and soft decision decoding cases will be considered with some rather surprising differences between the performances of the two. In particular, it will be shown that a large departure exists from the 2 dB advantage traditionally associated with soft decision decoding which is explained in terms of the mismatch between the coding channel and the decoding metric peculiar to this modulation/demodulation technique.     

Efficient ARQ technique using soft demodulation

In the letter a new technique for increasing the efficiency of an automatic-repeat-request communication system is described. This technique uses all the received versions of a codeword, and also those versions containing errors. Such a strategy, together with a soft demodulation of each received symbol, is particularly efficient when applied to ARQ schemes in which each block erroneously received is retransmitted many times.     

Joint data detection and channel estimation for coded and uncoded continuous phase modulation signals

The performance of decision‐directed approach for joint data detection and channel estimation for continuous phase modulation (CPM) signal is limited because of an inevitable decision delay, which results in a trade‐off between data detection and channel estimation. In this paper, a novel hard output demodulation that solves the conflict requirement on the decision delay by predicting the channel coefficients over a given observation interval through a Kalman filter is proposed for uncoded CPM signal. The prediction guarantees high channel tracking capability and meanwhile maintains the accuracy of data detection. The proposed hard output demodulator is further extended to design a soft‐input soft‐output demodulator for serially concatenated CPM signal, which allows iterative processing. The convergence behavior of the proposed iterative receiver is presented. Simulation results show that the proposed demodulators provide improved performance in terms of bit error rate over some existing algorithms. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Bidirectional iterative ISI canceller for high-rate DSSS/CCK communications

This paper proposes a new RAKE receiver incorporated with a bidirectional iterative intersymbol interference (ISI) canceller in order to reinforce multipath robustness of high-rate direct-sequence spread-spectrum complementary code keying (DSSS/CCK) systems. The proposed RAKE receiver first combines multipath signal components through a channel matched filter (CMF) and removes postcursor-ISI by employing a codeword decision feedback equalizer (DFE). Then, a CCK codeword detector tentatively determines the current CCK codeword symbol and reuses it to subtract precursor-ISI from the previous symbol. Therefore, the ultimate symbol decision is made using the delayed signal with both postcursor-ISI and precursor-ISI cancelled. The detection performance can be more improved through an iterative refinement processing between the postcursor and the precursor components. Simulation results exhibit a significantly improved error rate performance of the proposed receiver compared with that of the legacy RAKE receiver employing only a postcursor DFE. The additional cost for realization of the proposed receiver is one symbol decision delay and reuse complexity of the DFE and the codeword detector.

Soft decision decoding of linear block codes based on orderedstatistics for the Rayleigh fading channel with coherent detection

The soft decision decoding algorithm based on the ordered statistics proposed by Fossorier and Lin (see IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, vol.41, no.9, p.1379-96, 1995) is applied to the Rayleigh fading channel with coherent detection. For an (N, K) block code, it is shown that order-1 reprocessing, or equivalently considering K+1 codeword candidates, provides most of the coding gain over uncoded binary phase shift keying (BPSK). In addition to its contribution to coding for the Rayleigh fading channel, the article also provides a general framework for evaluating the error performance of an algorithm based on a total or partial ordering of a random variable (RV) depending on one or many other RVs and illustrates how the reprocessing method of Fossorier et al. relates to the reliability measures defining the ordering     

A CASCADABLE PRAGMATIC BLOCK DECODING ALGORITHM EXPLOITING CHANNEL MEASUREMENT INFORMATION

The complexity of algorithms to perform soft decision decoding on block codes has impeded their inclusion in practical systems. A well-known class of algorithms for decoding block codes utilizing channel measurement information along with the algebraic properties of the code are the Chase algorithms.¹ In this paper a decoding method similar to Chase's third algorithm is presented. However, in this method, a single test pattern or alternate codeword makes up one stage of the decoder. The method uses information from the previous decoding(s) to assist in generating a test pattern. This single stage ‘Second Chance Algorithm’ can then be extended to a ‘Third Chance Algorithm’ (and beyond) to enhance performance. The method does not invoke the hard decision decoder as often as the Chase algorithms.     

Soft multiuser demodulation and iterative decoding for FH/SSMA with a block turbo code

The number of users that can be supported by frequency-hopped, spread-spectrum multiple-access systems can be increased greatly by using multiuser demodulation and iterative decoding. In the receiver employed hard-decision multiuser demodulation followed by iterative decoding, users exchange decoded information with each other. Additional information from multiuser demodulation in the first decoding iteration is limited by the hard-decision output of the multiuser demodulator. The error-correction used was an errors-and-erasures Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder. We revisit hard-decision demodulation and conventional RS decoding. Hard-decision multiuser demodulation is modified to provide a soft output, which is then given to a nonbinary block turbo code with shortened RS codes as the constituent codes. An iterative multiuser decoding algorithm is developed to do soft multiuser interference cancellation. This soft receiver with soft demodulation and decoding is shown to be more resistant to multiuser interference and channel noise, especially at lower values of signal-to-noise ratio. The results show a great improvement in the ability of the system to support more users (more than three times in some cases), as compared with systems that erase all hits or employ hard-decision multiuser demodulation followed by RS code. We examine the proposed method for synchronous as well as asynchronous frequency-hopped systems in both AWGN and fading channels.

Unequal error protection and progressive decoding for JPEG2000

This paper presents an unequal error protection scheme for still and motion image transmissions. The underlying channel codes are created using a Plotkin construction and offer the novel ability of using one long channel codeword to protect an entire image, yet still allowing progressive decoding. Progressive quality improvements occur in two ways: the first is the usual progressive refinement, where image quality is improved as more data are received; the second is that residual error rates of earlier received data are reduced as more data are received.

Blind separation of asymmetric PCMA signal based on soft information joint correction

On the basis of a blind separation structure with low complexity,an efficient blind separation algorithm based on soft information joint correction was proposed for asymmetric PCMA to improve the demodulation performance of strong and weak signals.By utilizing the demodulation mutual influence between the strong and weak signals,this algorithm tried to correct the receiving symbols of strong signal with high error probability.Comparing the symbol constellation quality (soft information) of signals before and after correction,it can be decided whether the hard decision values of strong and weak signals need to be modified,which efficiently reduce the demodulation error rate of strong and weak signals.The simulation results show that,the demodulation error rate of strong and weak signals can be reduced by nearly two orders of magnitude after joint correction especially when the signal to noise ratio of strong signal is higher than 17 dB,and the computational complexity of this algorithm is lower than that of the conventional reconstruction cancellation algorithm.
