Iterative Demodulation and Decoding Scheme with 16 QAM

Iterative demodulation and decoding scheme is analyzed and modulation labeling is considered to be one of the crucial factors to this scheme. By analyzing the existent mapping design criterion, four aspects are found as the key techniques for choosing a label mapping. Based on this discovery, a novel mapping design criteflon is proposed and two label mappings are searched according to it. Simulation results show that the performance of BICM-ID using the novel mappings is better than the former ones. The extrinsic information transfer （EXIT） chart is introduced and it is used to evaluate the proposed mapping design criteria.

A novel mapping scheme and modified decoding algorithm for BICM-ID

This paper proposes a novel mapping scheme for bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding(BICM-ID).The symbol mapping is composed of two QPSK with different radiuses and phases,called cross equalization-8PSK-quasi-semi set partitioning(CE-8PSK-Quasi-SSP).Providing the same average power,the proposed scheme can increase the minimum squared Euclidean distance(MSED)and then improve the receiving performance of BICM-ID compared with conventional symbol mapping schemes.Simultaneously,a modified iteration decoding algorithm is proposed in this paper.In the process of iteration decoding,different proportion of the extrinsic information to the systematic observations results in distinct decoding performance.At high SNR(4~9dB),the observation information plays a more important role than the extrinsic information.Simulation results show that the proportion set at 1.2 is more suitable for the novel mapping in BICM-ID.When the BER is 10^(-4),more than 0.9dB coding gain over Rayleigh channels can be achieved for the improved mapping and decoding scheme.

A New Approximation to the Jacobian Logarithm Suitable for MAP Decoding in BICM-ID

In this paper, a new method to approximate the compensation term in the Jacobian logarithm used by the MAP decoder is proposed. Using the proposed approximation, the complex functions In（.） and exp（.） in the Exact-log-MAP algorithm can be estimated with high accuracy and lower computational complexity. The efficacy of the proposed approximation is investigated and demonstrated by applying it to iteratively decoded BICM （Bit Interleaved Coded Modulation）.

Novel Mapping Design Criterion for BICM-ID with Square QAM Constellations

Mapping design criteria of bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) with square 16QAM are analyzed. Three of the existing criteria are analyzed and compared with each other. Through the comparison, two main characters of the mapping design criteria are found. They are the harmonic mean of the minimum squared Euclidean distance and the average of Hamming distances with the nearest Euclidean distance. Based on these two characters, a novel mapping design criterion is proposed and a label mapping named mixed mapping is searched according to it. Simulation results show that mixed mapping performs better than the other mappings in BICM-ID system.

Study on RZ-4PAM downstream signals with duty cycles of 33% and 50% for optical access system application

4-ary pulse amplitude modulation(4PAM) signals with 33% and 50% return-to-zero(RZ) clocks are generated for passive optical network(PON). We demonstrate that RZ-4PAM signals with duty cycles of 33% and 50% after transmission over 20-km-long single mode fiber(SMF) at 10 Gbit/s can be directly detected by using one photo detector,and the original data can also be restored by one M-ary threshold detector and one 4PAM sequence decoder. The optical spectra of 33% and 50% RZ-4PAM signals are measured,and their eye-diagrams before and after transmission are also analyzed. Simulation results show that 33% and 50% RZ-4PAM downlink signals can be received effectively,and the received power values are-15.1 d Bm and-13.8 d Bm when the bit error rate(BER) is 10^(-6). Moreover,33% RZ-4PAM optical signals have better reception performance than 50% RZ-4PAM optical signals.
