Trellis code‐aided high‐rate M‐QAM space‐time labeling diversity using a unitary expansion

In this paper, we present a high‐rate M‐ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M‐QAM) space‐time labeling diversity (STLD) system that retains the robust error performance of the conventional STLD system. The high‐rate STLD is realised by expanding the conventional STLD via a unitary matrix transformation. Robust error performance of the high‐rate STLD is achieved by incorporating trellis coding into the mapping of additional bits to high‐rate codes. The comparison of spectral efficiency between the proposed trellis code‐aided high‐rate STLD (TC‐STLD) and the conventional STLD shows that TC‐STLD with 16‐QAM and 64‐QAM respectively achieves a 12.5% and 8.3% increase in spectral efficiency for each additional bit sent with the transmitted high‐rate codeword. Moreover, we derive an analytical bound to predict the average bit error probability performance of TC‐STLD over Rayleigh frequency‐flat fading channels. The analytical results are verified by Monte Carlo simulation results, which show that the derived analytical bounds closely predict the average bit error probability performance at high signal‐to‐noise ratios (SNR). Simulation results also show that TC‐STLD with 1 additional bit achieves an insignificant SNR gain of approximately 0.05 dB over the conventional STLD, while TC‐STLD with 2 additional bits achieves an SNR gain of approximately 0.12 dB.     

Study on adaptive modulation in D2D communications over Nakagami-m fading channel

A novel adaptive modulation based on nondata-aided error vector magnitude (NDA-EVM) was proposed to solve the problem of lower spectral efficiency in device to device (D2D) communication over Nakagami-m fading channel.The NDA-EVM was used to evaluate the channel quality.The relationship between NDA-EVM and symbol error ratio (SER) was derived according to the maximum likelihood method.Thereafter,the adaptive modulation mechanism of MQAM with the SER constraint was designed.Considering the joint effect of finite-length queuing and fading channel,the system packet loss rate and spectral efficiency was analyzed.Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments show that NDA-EVM based adaptive modulation accurately gives the modulation threshold and evaluates the relationship between QoS and packet loss rate,the proposed algorithm improves system spectral efficiency while maintaining low algorithm complexity,spectral efficiency improves by 0.752 bit·(s·Hz)^-1,compared with traditional algorithm.

It is assumed that the communication system experiences Ricean shadowed fading. We obtain the analytical figures of the proposed rate-adaptive transmission schemes, emphasizing in the spectral efficiency and the average bit error rate. These analytical expressions are compared to Monte-Carlo simulations corroborating the analytical results.     

Cooperative amplify‐and‐forward partial relay selection with outdated channel information in spectrum‐sharing systems

Recently, cooperative relaying techniques have been integrated into spectrum‐sharing systems in an effort to yield higher spectral efficiency. Many investigations on such systems have assumed that the channel state information between the secondary transmitter and primary receiver used to calculate the maximum allowable transmit secondary user transmit power to limit the interference is known to be perfect. However, because of feedback delay from the primary receiver or the time‐varying properties of the channel, the channel information may be outdated, which is an important scenario to cognitive radio systems. In this paper, we investigate the impact of outdated channel state information for relay selection on the performance of partial relay selection with amplify and forward in underlay spectrum‐sharing systems. We begin by deriving a closed‐form expression for the outage probability of the secondary network in a Rayleigh fading channel along with peak received interference power constraint and maximum allowable secondary user transmit power. We also provide a closed‐form expression for the average bit‐error rate of the underlying system. Moreover, we present asymptotic expressions for both the outage probability and average bit‐error rate in the high signal‐to‐noise ratio regime that reveal practical insights on the achievable diversity gain. Finally, we confirm our results through comparisons with computer simulations. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adaptive modulation systems for predicted wireless channels

When adaptive modulation is used to counter short-term fading in mobile radio channels, signaling delays create problems with outdated channel state information. The use of channel power prediction will improve the performance of the link adaptation. It is then of interest to take the quality of these predictions into account explicitly when designing an adaptive modulation scheme. We study the optimum design of an adaptive modulation scheme based on uncoded M-quadrature amplitude modulation, assisted by channel prediction for the flat Rayleigh fading channel. The data rate, and in some variants the transmit power, are adapted to maximize the spectral efficiency, subject to average power and bit-error rate constraints. The key issues studied here are how a known prediction error variance will affect the optimized transmission properties, such as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) boundaries that determine when to apply different modulation rates, and to what extent it affects the spectral efficiency. This investigation is performed by analytical optimization of the link adaptation, using the statistical properties of a particular, but efficient, channel power predictor. Optimum solutions for the rate and transmit power are derived, based on the predicted SNR and the prediction error variance.

Adaptive modulation and combining for bandwidth and power efficient communication over fading channels

Traditional fading mitigation techniques are designed relative to the worst‐case channel conditions, resulting in a poor utilization of the spectrum and the available power a good percentage of the time. In contrast, we introduce and investigate in this paper new adaptive modulation and diversity combining techniques that jointly select the most appropriate constellation size and the most suitable diversity branches in response to the channel variation and given a desired bit error rate (BER) requirement. Numerical results show that these newly proposed adaptive modulation and combining schemes can reduce considerably the average receiver channel estimation complexity as well as the power drain from the battery while offering high spectral efficiency and satisfying the desired outage probability and BER requirements.

On spectral efficiency of low-complexity adaptive MIMO systems in Rayleigh fading channel

Adaptive MQAM modulation is used to maximize spectral efficiency of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems while keeping bit error rate (BER) under a target level. Closed-form expressions of the average spectral efficiency, coined as discrete-rate spectral efficiency (DRSE), are derived for adaptive modulation MIMO systems using different algorithms. To further enhance the spectral efficiency, a low complexity adaptation scheme is suggested to switch across different algorithms based on the DRSE. In the current letter, we investigate the adaptation scheme that switches between Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (OSTBC) and spatial multiplexing with zero-forcing (ZF) detection for MIMO systems with two transmit antennas. Two types of operating environment are considered: flat Rayleigh fading channel without spatial correlation and spatially correlated Rayleigh fading channel with transmit correlation.     

Performance analysis of variable rate: symbol-by-symbol adaptivebit interleaved coded modulation for Rayleigh fading channels

A challenging problem for a high-speed data service over wireless is to protect data over the error-prone fading channel in an effective way (high-bandwidth efficiency). We propose a bandwidth-efficient error correction scheme, namely variable rate adaptive bit interleaved coded modulation (ABICM), for the wireless mobile channel. The code rate and modulation level are varied according to the current channel state to exploit the time-varying nature of the wireless channel. Design challenges to achieve symbol-by-symbol adaptation are addressed. In particular, we address the criteria for choosing the family of component codes for the ABICM system. We propose a multilevel puncturing scheme that solves the problem of symbol-by-symbol adaptive puncturing and interleaving. The equivalent distance spectrum for variable rate symbol-by-symbol adaptive codes is introduced and analytical bounds on adaptive codes are derived that enable us to determine the optimal adaptation thresholds. Two operation modes, namely constant throughput and constant bit error rate (BER) controls, are proposed. It is found that there are significant gains relative to fixed-rate coding in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and throughput. It is also found that the ABICM scheme is essentially not degraded when used with small interleaving depths. This makes the ABICM very suitable for real-time applications     

Improved error performance for generalised spatial modulation with enhanced spectral efficiency

The existing analytical average bit error rate (ABER) expression of conventional generalised spatial modulation (CGSM) does not agree well with the Monte Carlo simulation results in the low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) region. Hence, the first contribution of this paper is to derive a new and easy way to evaluate analytical ABER expression that improves the validation of the simulation results at low SNRs. Secondly, a novel system termed CGSM with enhanced spectral efficiency (CGSM‐ESE) is presented. This system is realised by applying a rotation angle to one of the two active transmit antennas. As a result, the overall spectral efficiency is increased by 1 bit/s/Hz when compared with the equivalent CGSM system. In order to validate the simulation results of CGSM‐ESE, the third contribution is to derive an analytical ABER expression. Finally, to improve the ABER performance of CGSM‐ESE, three link adaptation algorithms are developed. By assuming full knowledge of the channel at the receiver, the proposed algorithms select a subset of channel gain vector (CGV) pairs based on the Euclidean distance between all CGV pairs, CGV splitting, CGV amplitudes, or a combination of these.     

Enhancing spectral efficiency of FSO system using adaptive SIM/M‐PSK and SIMO in the presence of atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors

This paper proposes an adaptive transmission modulation (ATM) technique for free‐space optical (FSO) links over gamma‐gamma turbulence channels.The ATM technique provides efficient utilization of the FSO channel capacity for improving spectral efficiency, by adapting the order of the phase‐shift keying modulation scheme, according to the channel conditions and the required bit error rate (BER). To overcome the channel degradation resulting from the turbulence effects as well as the pointing errors (PEs), single‐input multiple‐output (SIMO) system with maximal ratio combining (MRC) is proposed. Exact closed‐form expressions of BER and upper bound of the capacity are derived and verified by Monte Carlo simulations. The numerical results show that the proposed adaptive technique improves the spectral efficiency (SE) five times higher than the nonadaptive technique at the same BER threshold (10^?3).This improvement is achieved at signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) equals 27 and 42  dB in the case of atmospheric turbulence without and with PE, respectively. Furthermore, this SE could be obtained while the SNR = 30  dB by using ( 1 × 4 ) SIMO scheme with MRC and PE and having the same transmitting optical power.     

QoS‐based adaptive error control for wireless networks

Wireless channels are highly affected by unpredictable factors such as cochannel interference, adjacent channel interference, propagation path loss, shadowing, and multipath fading. The unreliability of media seriously degrades the transmission quality. Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) schemes are frequently used in wireless environments to reduce the high bit error rate of the channel. In this paper, we propose an adaptive error‐control scheme for wireless networks on the basis of dynamic variation of error‐control strategy as a function of the channel bit error rate, desired QoS, and number of receivers. Reed–Solomon codes are used throughout this study because of their appropriate characteristics in terms of powerful coding and implementation simplicity. Simulation results show that our adaptive error‐control protocol decreases the waste of bandwidth due to retransmissions or extra coding overheads while satisfying the QoS requirements of the receivers.

Trellis-coded CPFSK and soft-decision feedback equalization for micro-cellular wireless applications

In this paper, trellis-codedM-ary CPFSK with noncoherent envelope detection and adaptive channel equalization are investigated to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of microcellular digital wireless communications systems. For the same spectral efficiency, the trellis-coded modulation (TCM) schemes studied outperform minimum shift keying (MSK) with noncoherent or differentially coherent detection in Rayleigh fading channels. For the case of frequency-selective fading channels, adaptive channel equalization is applied to mitigate the time-variant intersymbol interference (ISI). A new equalizer structure is proposed which, in its feedback path, makes use of fractionally spaced signal samples instead of symbol-spaced hard decisions on transmitted symbols. Computer simulation results indicate that the soft-decision feedback equalizer (SDFE) can significantly improve the system's performance.     

A general scheme for spectral efficiency evaluation ofdirect-sequence spread-spectrum systems

Typically, spectral efficiency, the throughput in bits/second/hertz, has been evaluated for fixed values of the bit error probability. We introduce a cutoff-rate-based approach to evaluation of the spectral efficiency of direct-sequence spread-spectrum schemes so that the results are independent of specific bit error rates or channel codes. Results are shown for M-ary phase-shift keyed modulation on the slow-fading Rician channel     

Nondata-aided error vector magnitude based adaptive modulation over rapidly time-varying channels

A novel nondata-aided error vector magnitude based adaptive modulation(NDA-EVM-AM) was proposed to solve the problem of lower spectral efficiency over rapidly time-varying wireless channels.Namely,NDA-EVM was considered as a metric to reflect the rapid change of time-varying channels.The unified model to calculate different modulation order of NDA-EVM was analytically derived,with which the relationship between NDA-EVM and bit error rate (BER) for each modulation order was presented.Thereafter,the mechanism to adaptively select the modulation orders of multilevel quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) signals was designed to guarantee the predefined BER.Taking the two rapidly time-varying channels proposed for high-speed railway scenarios as examples,numerical results are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.It shows that NDA-EVM estimation has the lest root mean square error than data-aided error vector magnitude (DA-EVM) estimation and signal to noise ratio estimation.The proposed algorithm has better accuracy in aspects of channel quality estimation and modulation orders adjustment,Compared with conventional data-aided error vector magnitude based-adaptive modulation (DA-EVM-AM),the accuracy improves by 7.9%,spectral efficiency improves by 0.53 bit·s^?1·Hz^?1,and compared with signal to noise ratio based-adaptive modulation (SNR-AM),the accuracy improves by 15.7%,spectral efficiency improves by 0.82 bit·s^?1·Hz^?1.     

Standardization on performance objectives of satellite systems using adaptive coding and modulation

The radiocommunication part of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU‐R) establishes the standards for wireless communications. Recommendation ITU‐R S.1062 specifies the performance objectives for satellite communication systems providing constant bit rate service. However, this is not applicable to most modern satellite communication systems utilizing adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) schemes to compensate for channel impairments, especially for systems operating in high frequency bands. For this reason, ITU‐R recently developed Recommendation ITU‐R S.2131 that is suitable for satellite systems with ACM. The developed Recommendation provides a method to determine performance objectives for satellite systems using ACM. Two possible objective parameters are presented, including packet error rate and spectral efficiency. This paper presents the standardization process, and the background used to establish new performance objectives. In addition, interpretations of the objectives are given by using estimation results for two different propagation characteristics.
