Upper bounds on the symbol-error probability of MPSK with phase error using pawula F-function IV

This letter presents an alternative derivation of the Case IV of Pawula F-function and an approximation for the corresponding probability density function (pdf) in the presence of the Tikhonov distributed phase error. The pdf of Case IV is used to obtain new upper bounds for the conditional and average symbol-error probabilities of M-ary phase shift keying with phase error over additive white Gaussian noise channels. Numerical results demonstrate the validity of the upper bounds.     

Generic error probabilities

This paper presents new forms for an error probability associated, with the phase angle between two vectors perturbed by Gaussian noise. An interesting consequence of the underlying generic form is a new expression for the symbol error rate in MDPSK that is very similar to its counterpart for MPSK. The generic error probability is further shown to contain as special cases MPSK, MDPSK, CPFSK, and digital FM; and to give a new expression for the Marcum Q-function. The generic error probability also simplifies the error probability expressions in other situations such as nonorthogonal signaling, maximum likelihood differential detection of DPSK with block-by-block detection, and Gray coding of MDPSK     

Performance of RS coded M-ary modulation with and without symbol overlapping

In this paper, we present analytical bit error probability results for M-ary modulation concatenated with Reed Solomon (RS) codes. The analysis of bit error probability is nontrivial as the number of bits per symbol for the RS codes may not be an integer multiple of the number of bits per symbol for a modulation symbol. We propose a Markov chain technique which allows analytical evaluation of the bit error probability for such cases. The performance of RS coding with coherent biorthogonal, coherent/non-coherent orthogonal modulation over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel is evaluated. Simulation of the bit error probability of RS code concatenated with a Nordstrom Robinson (NR) code as an inner code is performed and compared with the case of biorthogonal modulation. From the results, we notice that a stronger inner code gives better bit error probability. In addition, the throughput of the coded system with biorthogonal modulation over an AWGN channel is discussed. For a Rayleigh flat fading and block fading channel, we analyze the bit error probability of RS codes concatenated with biorthogonal modulation. From the result, we notice that a stronger outer code gives a better bit error probability for the case of Rayleigh flat fading channel.

Bit Error Probability and Bit Outage Rate in Chaos Communication

This paper investigates the notion of the probability of bit error (PBE) and its distribution in chaos-based communication systems; these are seen as being the fundamental quantities to both the well-known bit error rate (BER) and the new concept in chaos communications of bit outage rate (BOR). The form of the distribution illustrates the degree to which bit error rate is a stable representation of performance. Bit outage rate is another measure of performance which gives practically helpful information about bit error. For a simple coherent chaos-shift-keying system the distribution of bit error probability is derived exactly, and theoretically exact formulas for the bit outage rate and bit error rate are presented. Two specific cases are developed to obtain useful qualitative and quantitative information. The cases concern independent Gaussian spreading, as a lower benchmark and logistic map spreading, as typical of effective chaotic spreading. Comparisons are obtained between these spreading distributions and between different extents of their spreading, calibrated against per bit signal to noise ratio. A general conclusion is that bit outage and bit error rates are complementary measures of performance.     

Output Power PDF of a Saturated Semiconductor Optical Amplifier: Second-Order Noise Contributions by Path Integral Method

We have developed a second-order small-signal model for describing the nonlinear redistribution of noise in a saturated semiconductor optical amplifier. In this paper, the details of the model are presented. A numerical example is used to compare the model to statistical simulations. We show that the proper inclusion of second-order noise terms is required for describing the change in the skewness (third-order moment) of the noise distributions. The calculated probability density functions are described far out in the tails and can hence describe signals with very low bit error rate (BER). The work is relevant for describing the noise distribution and BER in, for example, optical regeneration.     

Error rate and outage of dual‐hop DF relay system with selection combining over Rice fading

Performance of dual‐hop decode‐and‐forward relay system with selection‐combining receiver is analyzed over Rice fading channels. The following closed‐form expressions of performance metrics are derived: moment generating function for selection‐combining receiver output signal‐to‐noise ratio, exact average bit error rate of noncoherent modulations, approximate average symbol error rate for coherent modulations, and outage probability. We also obtain simple asymptotic expressions for moment generating function, exact average bit error rate, average symbol error rate, and outage probability, which are useful to characterize the diversity order and the coding gain. The optimal power allocation analysis suggests that the optimal power allocation factor is independent of total signal‐to‐noise ratio and source‐to‐destination link fading parameters. The accuracy of the obtained analytical expressions are supported by computer simulation results.     

A new formula for MDPSK symbol error probability

This article presents an extremely compact new formula for the symbol error probability in M-ary differential phase shift keying (MDPSK) that is extraordinarily similar to its counterpart for M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK). This result follows from a new form for a generic error probability associated with the phase angle between two vectors perturbed by Gaussian noise. The new form also leads to a new expression for the Marcum Q-function. As special cases, the generic error probability is noted to also contain MPSK, CPFSK, and digital FM. Finally, it is pointed out that the generic error probability simplifies the error probability expressions in other situations such as nonorthogonal signaling, maximum-likelihood differential detection of DPSK with block-by-block detection, and Gray coding of MDPSK     

Error performance of differentially coherent detection of binary DPSK data transmission on the hard-limiting satellite channel

The error performance of differentially coherent detection of a binary differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) system operating over a hard-limiting satellite channel is derived. The main objective is to show the extent of error rate degradation of a DPSK system when a power imbalance exists between the two symbol pulses that are used in a bit decision interval. Consideration is also given to the DPSK error rate performance for the special case of {em uncorrelated} uplink and {em correlated} downlink noises at the sampling instants in adjacent time slots. Error probabilities are given as functions of uplink signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and downlink SNR with different levels of SNR imbalance and different downlink SNR and uplink SNR as parameters, respectively. Our numerical results show that 1) as long as the symbols are equiprobable, the error probability is not dependent upon the downlink noise correlation, regardless of whether there is a power imbalance; 2) error performance is definitely affected by the power imbalance for all cases of symbol distributions; and 3) the error probability does depend upon downlink noise correlation for all levels of power imbalance if the symbol probabilities are not equal.     

Influence of imperfect carrier recovery on satellite QPSK communication system performance

The purpose of this paper is to provide the theoretical approach for determining the bit error probability in detecting a coherent quaternary phase-shift-keyed signal transmitted over a soft-limited channel in the presence of the uplink and downlink noise, as well as the noisy carrier reference signal. The uplink noise is considered in the specific way through the envelope variations and the frequency offset of the signal remitted by the satellite station having influence on the variations of the phase-locked loop parameters in the receiving ground station, consequently on the probability density function of the phase error, i.e. the average bit error probability. The downlink noise is also taken into consideration. The determined results are based on the non-linear phase-locked loop model with primary emphasis on the degradations in the system performance produced by the imperfect carrier signal extraction.

Performance of optical intersatellite links

The performance of optical intersatellite links is described by a model. A significant difference between optical and microwave intersatellite links is the occurrence of so-called burst errors. The statistics of bit error rate for an optical link are derived from simulations taking into account beam mispointing resulting from satellite motions and tracking channel noise. The effect of coding on the bit error rate is also shown. The mutual tracking system between two optical terminals located on different satellites can become unstable if the noise of the tracking loop exceeds a critical value. The results of tracking simulations are presented.     

On adaptive vector transform quantization for speech coding

Adaptive vector transform quantization (AVTQ) as a coding system is discussed. The optimal bit assignment is derived based on vector quantization asymptotic theory for different PDFs (probability density functions) of the transform coefficients. Strategies for shaping the quantization noise spectrum and for adapting the bit assignment to the changes in the speech statistics are discussed. A good estimate of the efficiency of any coding system is given by the system coding gain over scalar PCM (pulse code modulation). Based on the optimal bit allocation, the coding gain of the vector transform quantization (VTQ) system operating on a stationary input signal is derived. The VTQ coding gain demonstrates a significant advantage of vector quantization over scalar quantization within the framework of transform coding. System simulation results are presented for a first-order Gauss-Markov process and for typical speech waveforms. The results of fixed and adaptive systems are compared for speech input. Also, the AVTQ results are compared to known scalar speech coding systems     

Weibull-gamma composite distribution: alternative multipath/shadowing fading model

The Weibull-gamma (WG) distribution, which is appropriate for modelling fading environments when multipath is superimposed on shadowing, is introduced and studied. For this composite distribution the probability density, cumulative distribution, characteristic functions and the moments are derived in closed form. Furthermore, the average bit error and outage probabilities of a receiver operating over WG fading channels are assessed and compared with the corresponding performances obtained using other composite distributions.     

Performance Analysis on Two-Way Relay System with Co-Channel Interference

In this paper, we investigate the performance of two-way relay system with co-channel interference in a Rayleigh fading environment. Due to the mathematical intractability of original expression of signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) induced by the bi-directional forwarding, a couple of effective bounds are derived for important performance metrics such as outage probability and average bit error rate of modulation, with application of diverse physical layer network coding (PNC) schemes of two time slot (2TS) and three time slot (3TS). Some asymptotic solutions are also proposed to intuitively exhibit the trends of performance in high SINR regime. We demonstrate that the performance bounds have practical meaning corresponding to different forwarding capability of the relay. Numeric simulations validate our analysis by showing that the theoretic bounds match well with simulation results. Additionally, the effect of distance between relay and sources is discussed in our interference scenario, as well as the impact of relay’s power allocation factor in 3TS PNC scheme.     

New rate-1/3 trellis codes with 8-PSK signals for bandlimited AWGN channels

New rate-1/3 linear trellis (convolutional) codes with 8-PSK modulation for bandlimited additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels are reported. The simulated bit error probability performance of the trellis-coded modulation schemes with unquantised Viterbi decoding shows useful coding gains over the uncoded coherent BPSK having the same bandwidth efficiency of 1 bit/s/Hz and the schemes are suitable for use in many practical bandlimited channels.<>     

DS-CDMA system with joint channel estimation and MAP detection intime-selective fading channels

In this paper, maximum a posteriori (MAP) detection is applied to a direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) system jointly with identification and estimation of time-selective fading channels. By sampling the outputs of the matched filter and combining antenna array elements, strong and time-varying multiple-access interference (MAI) is characterized and suppressed instantaneously. The decision statistics for MAP detection are obtained from the conditional probability density function of the prediction error. The prediction is accomplished by approximating the fading channel with a constrained nonlinear state model. Unknown parameters such as auto-regressive (AR) process coefficients, noise covariance matrices, and the antenna array vector are estimated based on received sample vectors only. Also, differential modulation is applied to eliminate the need for pilot insertion. Through computer simulations, near-optimum bit error rates (BERs) are found     

Tail Extrapolation in MLSE Receivers Using Nonparametric Channel Model Estimation

This paper presents a method for determining the probability of rare events, in particular for probability density function (pdf) and bit error rate (BER) estimation. The derivation of the method is based on the presumption that the pdf is a member of a family of distributions very often named as the generalized exponential (GE) class of distributions. Based on high reliability estimations obtained in short simulation/measurement times, the low probably events are estimated accurately by extrapolation. The suggested method can be applied to some distributions that are different from GE distributions, such as noncentral chi-square distributions, to extrapolate to low probability events, with some extrapolation error. It can also be applied to BER estimation. The method is in particular helpful for estimating channels suffering from both severe signal distortion causing undesired intersymbol interference (ISI) of several symbols, and from severe noise. Such conditions prevail, for example, in metro and long haul high-speed optical fiber communication systems. So the method may be implemented in particular in maximum-likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) optical receivers using nonparametric channel model estimation. A special use of the extrapolation method is explained for practical systems using trellis branch metrics derived from the estimated pdf to decode the transmitted sequence of symbols.     

Error-correcting codes and nonlinear diversity combining againstworst case partial-band noise jamming of frequency-hopping MFSK systems

Error probability analyses are performed for a coded M-ary frequency-shift keying system (MFSK) using L hops per M-ary word frequency-hopping spread-spectrum waveforms transmitted over a partial-band Gaussian noise jamming channel. The bit error probabilities are obtained for a square-law adaptive gain control receiver with forward-error-control coding under conditions of worst-case partial-band noise jamming. Both thermal noise and jamming noise are included in the analyses. Performance curves are obtained for both block codes and convolutional codes with both binary and M-ary channel modulations. The results show that thermal noise cannot be neglected in the analysis if correct determinations of the optimum order of diversity and the worst-case jamming fraction are to be obtained. It is shown that the combination of nonlinear combining, M -ary modulation, and forward-error-control coding is effective against worst-case partial-band noise jamming     

Performance and Optimization of Switched Diversity Systems for the Detection of Signals with Rayleigh Fading

The performance and optimization of switched diversity systems are considered. First, the one-dimensional distribution and probability density functions of the envelope of the received signal are obtained for three different switching strategies. This information is used to obtain the average probability of bit error for the case of non-coherent detection of binary FSK signals with Rayleigh fading envelopes and additive white Gaussian noise. The optimization of two of these switching strategies is then considered, and it is shown that by proper selection of switching thresholds, the average probability of bit error during detection can be minimized. It is also shown that these optimized switching strategies yield a significant improvement in performance over non-diversity systems and can approach the performance of more complex receivers such as maximal ratio combining. Computer simulations of switched diversity systems using a practical field model are used to verify the analysis.
