Performance of parallel and serial concatenated codes on fading channels

The performance of parallel and serial concatenated codes on frequency-nonselective fading channels is considered. The analytical average upper bounds of the code performance over Rician channels with independent fading are derived. Furthermore, the log-likelihood ratios and extrinsic information for maximum a posteriori (MAP) probability and soft-output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA) decoding methods on fading channels are developed. The derived upper bounds are evaluated and compared to the simulated bit-error rates over independent fading channels. The performance of parallel and serial codes with MAP and SOVA iterative decoding methods, with and without channel state information, is evaluated by simulation over independent and correlated fading channels. It is shown that, on correlated fading channels, the serial concatenated codes perform better than parallel concatenated codes. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the SOVA decoder has almost the same performance as the MAP decoder if ideal channel state information is used on correlated Rayleigh fading channels.     

The Performance of ST-Turbo TC Based on the Improved Log-MAP Algorithm

The iterative decoding in turbo code has very high decoding complexity. This paper adopts the improved Log-MAP algorithm for decoding of Space-Time Turbo Trellis Code (ST-Turbo TC) in the slow Rayleigh fading channels. Using the MacLaurin formulae, the proposed algorithm expands the logarithmic function of the Log-MAP. It makes the computation much easier and the operation of the hardware system much faster. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs very closely to the Log-MAP algorithm for decoding of ST-Turbo TC in slow Rayleigh fading channels.     

A channel detection technique based on Max-Log-MAP algorithm for wireless indoor system

This study introduces a new low complexity Max-Log-MAP based channel estimation technique operating in a multi-path band limited channel. The proposed estimation technique is based on an iterative procedure derived through the maximum a posteriori probability approach. Wireless communication channels often undergo frequency selective fading that leads to inter-symbol interference, which limits the performance of wireless indoor systems. Performance of the algorithms is assessed by combined analysis and simulation. Results are presented and compared against the performance of conventional Log-MAP algorithm. The obtained results show that the required bit-error-rate performance can be achieved with a lower number of iterations using the proposed low complexity algorithm compared to using the conventional Log-MAP algorithm.

A simple remedy for the exaggerated extrinsic information produced by the SOVA algorithm

In this paper, we propose a novel and simple approach for dealing with the exaggerated extrinsic information produced by the soft-output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA). The proposed remedy is based on mathematical analysis and it involves using two attenuators, one applied to the immediate output of the SOVA and another applied to the extrinsic information before it is passed to the other decoder (assuming iterative decoding). The use of these attenuators aims at reducing the inherent strong correlation between the intrinsic information (input to the SOVA) and extrinsic information (output of the SOVA). We examine the modified SOVA (MSOVA) on additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and flat fading channels for parallel concatenated codes (PCCs) and serial concatenated codes (SCCs). We show that the MSOVA provides substantial performance improvements over both channels. For example, it provides improvements of about 0.8 to 1.0 dB at P/sub b/ = 10/sup -5/ in AWGN, and about 1.4 to 2.0 dB at P/sub b/ = 10/sup -5/ on fading channels. We also show that there are cases where the MSOVA is superior to the a posteriori probability (APP) algorithm. With this motivation, we extend the proposed modification to the APP algorithm with favorable results. We demonstrate that the modified APP (MAPP) provides performance improvements between 0.3 to 0.6 dB at P/sub b/ = 10/sup -5/ relative to the APP. We lastly mention that the proposed modifications, while they provide considerable performance improvements, keep the complexity of these decoders almost the same, which is remarkable.     

Fading Margin Analysis for Asynchronous CDMA Systems

In this paper, a detailed theoretical analysis of fading margin in an asynchronous code division multiple access (A-CDMA) system is discussed. Rayleigh and Rician frequency-selective slowly fading channels are considered. Probability distribution and density functions of the probability of error are derived for Rayleigh and Rician fading channels. The fluctuations in the channel capacity are proved to be directly proportional to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) variations. Fading margin is calculated for both Rayleigh and Rician fading channels as a function of the probability of error specification and the probability of unsatisfactory operation.     

Concatenation of space‐time block codes and turbo trellis coded modulation (ST‐TTCM) over Rician fading channels with imperfect phase

In this paper, the performance of space time‐turbo trellis coded modulation (ST‐TTCM) is evaluated over Rician and Rayleigh fading channels with imperfect phase. We modify Baum–Welch (BW) algorithm to estimate the fading and phase jitter parameters for multi‐antenna configurations. Thus, we assume that the channel parameters change slower than carrier frequency. We know that, at high data rate transmissions over wireless fading channels, space–time block codes (STBC) provide the maximal possible diversity advantage. Here, the combined effects of the amplitude and the phase of the received signal are considered, each one modelled by Rician and Tikhonov distributions, respectively. We investigate space time‐turbo trellis coded modulation (ST‐TTCM) for 8‐PSK for several Rician factor K and phase distortion factor η. Thus, our results reflect the degradations both due to the effects of the fading on the amplitude and phase noise of the received signal while the channel parameters are estimated by BW algorithm.

Capacity of MRC on Correlated Rician Fading Channels

A new exact explicit expression is derived for the ergodic capacity of maximal ratio combining (MRC) schemes over arbitrarily correlated Rician fading channels. This is used to study the effects of channel correlation on the ergodic capacity. Numerical results reveal that both the phase and the magnitude of correlation have an impact on the ergodic capacity of Rician fading channels. This is in contrast to correlated Rayleigh fading, where the phase of the correlation has no effect on the ergodic capacity. It is also observed that negatively correlated branches in Rician fading may lead to an increase in ergodic capacity beyond that obtained by uncorrelated branches.     

Performance Analysis of the Dual-Hop Asymmetric Fading Channel

In real wireless communication environments, it is highly likely that different channels associated with a relay network could experience different fading phenomena. In this paper, we investigate the end-to-end performance of a dualhop fixed gain relaying system when the source-relay and the relay-destination channels experience Rayleigh/Rician and Rician/Rayleigh fading scenarios respectively. Analytical expressions for the cumulative distribution function of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio are derived and used to evaluate the outage probability and the average bit error probability of M-QAM modulations. Numerical and simulation results are presented to illustrate the impact of the Rician factor on the end-toend performance. Furthermore, these results confirm that the system exhibits an improved performance in a Rician/Rayleigh (source-relay link/relay-destination link) environment compared to a Rayleigh/Rician environment.
