Performance evaluation of superorthogonal turbo codes in AWGN andflat Rayleigh fading channels

Turbo codes are parallel concatenated codes whose performance in the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel has been shown to be near the theoretical limit. In this paper, we describe a low-rate superorthogonal turbo code that combines the principles of low-rate convolutional coding and that of parallel concatenation. Due to the bandwidth expansion, this code outperforms the ordinary turbo code both in AWGN and especially in fading channels. Thus, superorthogonal turbo codes are suited mainly for spread-spectrum applications. For the purposes of iterative decoding, we concisely describe the connection between the optimal maximum a posteriori symbol estimation and suboptimal soft-output decoding based on sequence estimation. The suboptimal decoder produces outputs that can directly be used as additive metrics at successive decoding iterations, without the need for estimating channel noise variance. Simulation results in AWGN and flat Rayleigh fading channels are also presented, along with analytical upper bounds of bit- and frame-error probabilities     

Performance of a novel synchronisation algorithm over AWGN channels

Recently a novel symbol timing recovery technique that is implemented in the frequency domain has been presented.

Multilevel coded CPFSK systems for AWGN and fading channels

In this paper, we introduce multilevel coded continuous-phase frequency-shift keying (CPFSK) systems for both additive white Gaussian noise and fading channels based on multilevel coding and multistage decoding techniques. These schemes are designed under the constraint M⩾2P for M-ary CPFSK with modulation index J/P. In order to maintain the phase continuity property after multilevel coding, we use some specific set partitioning rules. We construct examples to show that the proposed systems outperform the corresponding conventional one-level schemes. For the fading case, we consider an ideal fading channel where adjacent fading symbols are assumed to be independent and a correlated fading channel where bit interleavers are needed at each coding level. The computer simulation results show that the proposed systems have bit-error performance and decoder complexity advantages over the corresponding reference codes taken from the literature. It is also shown that there is only a slight degradation on the bit-error performance for correlated fading, compared to the ideal fading case

General random coding bounds: AWGN channels to MIMO fading channels

Random coding bounds are obtained for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels. To derive the result in a compact and easy-to-evaluate form, a series of combinatorial codeword enumeration problems are solved for input-constrained MIMO fading channels. The bounds obtained in this paper are shown useful as performance prediction measures for MIMO systems which employ turbo-like block codes as the outer code to derive the space-time inner code. The error exponents for MIMO channels are also derived from the bounds, and then compared with the classical Gallager error exponents as well as the channel capacities. The random coding bounds associated with the maximum likelihood receiver exhibit good match with the extensive system simulation results obtained with a turbo-iterative receiver.     

Design of trellis coded QAM for flat fading and AWGN channels

The design of trellis coded modulation (TCM) schemes for QAM constellations to counteract simultaneous flat fading and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is considered. Motivated by the results of Divsalar and Simon (see IEEE Trans. Commun., vol.36, p.1004, 1988), and incorporating some recent ideas from Boulle and Belfiore (1992), we develop novel 2-D TCM schemes that attain diversity of order two even for a trellis structure that includes parallel paths with one symbol per edge. An algorithm is described that transforms codes designed for the AWGN channel into codes that achieve significant gains over flat fading channel, while preserving their coding gain over AWGN channel. Their performance is assessed via computer simulation for some representative TCM-QAM schemes under the assumption of uncorrelated fading and perfect channel state information (CSI). Finally, the effects of finite interleaving as well as imperfect CSI on code performance are investigated

Differential detection algorithms for MSK signals over AWGN andfrequency-flat Rayleigh fading channels

Novel symbol-by-symbol differential detection algorithms are proposed for minimum-shift keying signals transmitted over additive white Gaussian noise and frequency-flat Rayleigh fading channels. They are derived as approximations to the maximum likelihood noncoherent detection strategy. Their error performance is assessed by computer simulation and is compared with that of other noncoherent detectors. It is shown that, with fading channels, the new algorithms outperform the traditional methods     

Better performance of OFDM using three special triangular constellations over AWGN and fading channels

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been adopted as a major data transmission technique by many wireless communication standards. In this research, 3 new triangular constellations schemes, which are named as TRI1, TRI2, and TRI3, are introduced to replace for the well‐known rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation in OFDM modulation. In this study, it has been shown that these new schemes have 3 major advantages with respect to the QAM. The first advantage is their lower bit error rate, which results from the better usage of the constellation space with longer minimum distances. The 2 other advantages are a lower peak to average ratio and higher noise immunity. Both mathematical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that by applying high fading channels with additive white Gaussian noise and intersymbol interference impairment simultaneously, the proposed constellations exhibit a superior performance in criteria compared to the commonly used rectangular 16QAM and 64QAM constellations. As a result, they are good choice for high speed and real‐time multicarrier applications such as digital video broadcasting terrestrial at no extra cost.     

Coded and uncoded CPM schemes over rings of integers for AWGN andRayleigh fading channels

Coded and uncoded modulation schemes based on continuous phase modulation (CPM) over rings of integers are investigated. A baseband modulator utilising a decomposed model of CPM is used at the transmitter and a Viterbi soft-decision decoder is employed at the receiver. The performances of a number of partial-response CPM schemes are investigated when operating over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and Rayleigh flat fading (RFF) channel. The simulation results obtained are shown to compare favourably with theoretical bounds

Performance and design of space-time coding in fading channels

The pairwise-error probability upper bounds of space-time codes (STCs) in independent Rician fading channels are derived. Based on the performance analysis, novel code design criteria for slow and fast Rayleigh fading channels are developed. It is found that, in fading channels, the STC design criteria depend on the value of the possible diversity gain of the system. In slow fading channels, when the diversity gain is smaller than four, the code error performance is dominated by the minimum rank and the minimum determinant of the codeword distance matrix. However, when the diversity gain is larger than, or equal to, four, the performance is dominated by the minimum squared Euclidean distance. Based on the proposed design criteria, new codes are designed and evaluated by simulation.     

Multiuser detection with neural network and PIC in CDMA systems for AWGN and Rayleigh fading asynchronous channels

In this paper, multiuser detection in code division multiple access (CDMA) was performed by using neural network (NN) and parallel interference cancellation (PIC). Neural network is used as a front-end stage of one stage PIC circuit. PIC is a classical technique in multi user detection process and its bit error rate (BER) performance is not good in one stage for most of the applications. For improving its BER performance, generally multi stage PIC which has high computational complexity is used. In this study, we have got better BER performance than the three stage PIC receiver in AWGN channel, almost same BER performance with the three stages PIC receiver in the Rayleigh fading channel.     

A comparative study of higher-order differential phase shift keying schemes over AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels

Double differential phase shift keying (DDPSK) is known to be immune to Doppler shift, a property that is valuable in mobile communication systems. The present paper is about DDPSK and analyzes its two variations, the adjacent DDPSK and the nonadjacent DDPSK. The performance is evaluated for the case of slow Rayleigh fading with and without frequency offset using the three receiver structures: the IQ demodulator, the autocorrelation demodulator, and the multiphase autocorrelation demodulator. In additive white Gaussian noise channels (AWGN), the performance of both schemes is evaluated in the presence of a frequency offset with the above demodulators. The obtained analytical results are verified via Monte Carlo simulations. The obvious disadvantage of DDPSK is its power requirements when compared to the conventional DPSK. In order to overcome this shortcoming, a demodulator structure is proposed in this paper. The performance of this demodulator is found to yield a lower probability of error when compared to the other demodulators for DDPSK as well as for DPSK. Results obtained using computer simulation of the proposed demodulator was found to be in good agreement with the analytical results derived in this paper.     

Performance comparison of multi-user chaos-based DS-CDMA synchronisation unit within AWGN and Rayleigh fading channel

The performance of a multi-user chaos-based direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) communication system with a sequence synchronisation unit incorporated is examined. Synchronisation is achieved through code acquisition and maintained through the code tracking phase. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated in a Rayleigh fading channel with additive white Gaussian noise and interuser interference. Results are compared to a fade-free channel. It is shown that, although the system is robust to the influence of noise and interuser interferences, it fails to satisfy the maximum allowable bit error rate limit of 10^-3 in the Rayleigh fading channel.     

Performance of MHPM in Rician and Rayleigh fading mobile channels

This paper evaluates the error probability of the rectangular frequency pulse multi-h modulation (MHPM) scheme in slowly-fading, frequency-nonselective or frequency-selective Rician and Rayleigh channels. The evaluation is performed with a method combining analysis and computer simulation. Performance degradations are evaluated for various direct-to-reflected signal ratio, Doppler shifts, and relative time delays in Rician fading channels. Compared with minimum shift keying (MSK), MHPM schemes appear to have retained their coding gains

Performance of polarization diversity in correlated nakagami-m fading channels

This paper analyzes the performance of systems with dual-polarized antennas in correlated Nakagami-m fading channels as a function of envelope correlation and cross-polarization discrimination by means of the characteristic function of the instantaneous post-maximal ratio combining (MRC) signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Systems of interest include systems with receive polarization diversity and systems with transmit and receive polarization diversity employing Alamouti space-time code. The expressions for the average symbol error probability as a function of SNR assuming no power control, and the expressions for the average required transmit power to achieve the constant desired post-MRC SNR assuming perfect fast power control, are derived. Finally, a comparison between analytical and simulation results is used to validate the analysis.
