Bandwidth efficient coding for fading channels: code constructionand performance analysis

The authors apply a general method of bounding the event error probability of TCM (trellis-coded modulation) schemes to fading channels and use the effective length and the minimum-squared-product distance to replace the minimum-free-squared-Euclidean distance as code design parameters for Rayleigh and Rician fading channels with a substantial multipath component. They present 8-PSK (phase-shift-keying) trellis codes specifically constructed for fading channels that outperform equivalent codes designed for the AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) channel when v⩾5. For quasiregular trellis codes there exists an efficient algorithm for evaluating event error probability, and numerical results which demonstrate the importance of the effective length as a code design parameter for fading channels with or without side information have been obtained. This is consistent with the case for binary signaling, where the Hamming distance remains the best code design parameter for fading channels. The authors show that the use of Reed-Solomon block codes with expanded signal sets becomes interesting only for large value of E_s/N₀, where they begin to outperform trellis codes     

Diagonal block space-time code design for diversity and coding advantage over flat fading channels

The potential promised by multiple transmit antennas has raised considerable interest in space-time coding for wireless communications. In this paper, we propose a systematic approach for designing space-time trellis codes over flat fading channels with full antenna diversity and good coding advantage. It is suitable for an arbitrary number of transmit antennas with arbitrary signal constellations. The key to this approach is to separate the traditional space-time trellis code design into two parts. It first encodes the information symbols using a one-dimensional (M,1) nonbinary block code, with M being the number of transmit antennas, and then transmits the coded symbols diagonally across the space-time grid. We show that regardless of channel time-selectivity, this new class of space-time codes always achieves a transmit diversity of order M with a minimum number of trellis states and a coding advantage equal to the minimum product distance of the employed block code. Traditional delay diversity codes can be viewed as a special case of this coding scheme in which the repetition block code is employed. To maximize the coding advantage, we introduce an optimal construction of the nonbinary block code for a given modulation scheme. In particular, an efficient suboptimal solution for multilevel phase-shift-keying (PSK) modulation is proposed. Some code examples with 2-6 bits/s/Hz and two to six transmit antennas are provided, and they demonstrate excellent performance via computer simulations. Although it is proposed for flat fading channels, this coding scheme can be easily extended to frequency-selective fading channels.     

Multidimensional M-PSK trellis codes for fading channels

This paper investigates the code search problem for trellis-coded multidimensional phase modulation for Rayleigh fading channels. New set partitionings for multiple phase-shift keying (M-PSK) are proposed using the effective code length (ECL) and the minimum product distance (PD) as the code design criteria. By using these set-partitionings rules, new multidimensional codes which are optimum for Rayleigh fading channels are constructed. The proposed codes compare favorably with the existing multidimensional trellis codes on fading channels in terms of bit error performance. The bit error performance is evaluated by simulation     

Adaptive coded modulation for fading channels

We apply coset codes to adaptive modulation in fading channels. Adaptive modulation is a powerful technique to improve the energy efficiency and increase the data rate over a fading channel. Coset codes are a natural choice to use with adaptive modulation since the channel coding and modulation designs are separable. Therefore, trellis and lattice codes designed for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels can be superimposed on adaptive modulation for fading channels, with the same approximate coding gains. We first describe the methodology for combining coset codes with a general class of adaptive modulation techniques. We then apply this methodology to a spectrally efficient adaptive M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) to obtain trellis-coded adaptive MQAM. We present analytical and simulation results for this design which show an effective coding gain of 3 dB relative to uncoded adaptive MQAM for a simple four-state trellis code, and an effective 3.6-dB coding gain for an eight-state trellis code. More complex trellis codes are shown to achieve higher gains. We also compare the performance of trellis-coded adaptive MQAM to that of coded modulation with built-in time diversity and fixed-rate modulation. The adaptive method exhibits a power savings of up to 20 dB     

Assembled space-time turbo trellis codes

A novel full rate space-time turbo trellis code, referred to as an assembled space-time turbo trellis code (ASTTTC), is presented in this paper. For this scheme, input information binary sequences are first encoded using two parallel concatenated convolutional encoders. The encoder outputs are split into four parallel streams and each of them is modulated by a QPSK modulator. The modulated symbols are assembled by a predefined linear function rather than punctured as in the standard schemes. This results in a lower code rate and a higher coding gain over time-varying fading channels. An extended two-dimensional (2-D) log-MAP (maximum a posteriori probability) decoding algorithm, which simultaneously calculates two a posteriori probabilities (APP), is developed to decode the proposed scheme. Simulation results show that, under the same conditions, the proposed code considerably outperforms the conventional space-time turbo codes over time-varying fading channels.     

Constructing Space-Time Trellis Codes Using Orthogonal Designs

In this paper we consider the design of space-time trellis codes usingorthogonal designs. We derive a condition on the codewords to obtainthe maximum received signal energy and show that the codes based onorthogonal designs satisfy this condition.We consider in detail the design of a trellis code for two transmitantennas. The new code we develophas a higher diversity in fast fading and a higher coding gain in quasi-static fading when compared to otherexisting space-time codes. We also consider a turbo implementation ofthe new trellis code which results in very high diversity gains infast fading channels.     

Space-time code design for CPFSK modulation over frequency-nonselective fading channels

We derive a novel space-time code (STC) design criterion for continuous-phase frequency-shift keying (CPFSK) over frequency-nonselective fading channels. Our derivation is based on a specific matrix that is related to the input symbols of the CPFSK modulators. With this code-design criterion, we propose a simple interleaved space-time encoding scheme for CPFSK modulation over frequency-nonselective correlated fading channels to exploit potential temporal and spatial diversity advantages. Such an encoding scheme consists of a ring convolutional encoder and a spatial encoder, between which a convolutional interleaver is placed. A decoding algorithm that generates symbol metrics for the Viterbi decoder of convolutional codes from the spatial modulation trellis is examined. Simulation results confirm that the advantages of the combination of the interleaved convolutional encoding (for temporal diversity) and the spatial encoding (for spatial diversity) are promising for various system parameters.     

Concatenated space-time block coding with trellis coded modulation in fading channels

Trellis coded modulation (TCM) is a bandwidth efficient transmission scheme that can achieve high coding gain by integrating coding and modulation. This paper presents an analytical expression for the error event probability of concatenated space-time block coding with TCM which reveals some dominant factors affecting the system performance over slow fading channels when perfect interleavers are used. This leads to establishing the design criteria for constructing the optimal trellis codes of such a concatenated system over slow flat fading channels. Through simulation, significant performance improvement is shown to be obtained by concatenating the interleaved streams of these codes with space-time block codes over fading channels. Simulation results also demonstrate that these trellis codes have better error performance than traditional codes designed for single-antenna Gaussian or fading channels. Performance results over quasi-static fading channels without interleaving are also compared in this paper. Furthermore, it is shown that concatenated space-time block coding with TCM (with/without interleaving) outperforms space-time trellis codes under the same spectral efficiency, trellis complexity, and signal constellation.     

Adaptive multidimensional coded modulation over flat fadingchannels

We introduce a general adaptive coding scheme for Nakagami multipath fading channels. An instance of the coding scheme utilizes a set of 2L-dimensional (2L-D) trellis codes originally designed for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. Any set of 2L-D trellis codes for AWGN channels can be used, Sets for which all codes can be generated by the same encoder and decoded by the same decoder are of particular interest. A feedback channel between the transmitter and receiver makes it possible to transmit at high spectral efficiencies under favorable channel conditions and respond to channel degradation through a smooth reduction of the spectral efficiency. We develop a general technique to determine the average spectral efficiency of the coding scheme for any set of 2L-D trellis codes. As an illustrative example, we calculate the average spectral efficiency of an adaptive codec utilizing eight 4-D trellis codes. The example codec is based on the International Telecommunications Union's ITU-T V.34 modem standard     

A comparison of two combining techniques for equal gain, trelliscoded diversity receivers

Trellis coded modulation is widely used for digital transmission over fading channels. Classical diversity techniques are also frequently employed to combat fading. In this paper two different strategies for equal gain combining are compared, One scheme is based on an interleaved code combining technique. The alternative scheme is based on averaged diversity combining. The well known transfer function bounding technique for trellis codes is used to obtain: expressions for the bit error rate performance of the two trellis coded diversity receivers over a slowly fading Rayleigh channel. The analysis of interleaved code combining is a straightforward modification of the analysis for multiple trellis coded modulation. The analysis of averaged diversity combining is accommodated through a more involved, novel modification of the branch labeling of the error state diagram. The analytic techniques presented in this paper are supported by simulation results using a TCM scheme based on QPSK modulation and a rate-l/2 linear convolution code
