Differential modulation based on space-time block codes

A differential modulation scheme using space-time block codes is put forward. Compared with other schemes, our scheme has lower computational complexity and has a simpler decoder. In the case of three or four transmitter antennas, our scheme has a higher rate a higher coding gain and a lower bit error rate for a given rate. Then we made simulations for space-time block codes as well as group codes in the case of two, three, four and five transmit antennas. The simulations prove that using two transmit antennas, one receive antenna and code rate of 4 bits/s/Hz, the differential STBC method outperform the differential group codes method by 4 dB. Useing three, four and five transmit antennas, one receive antenna, and code rate of 3 bits/s/Hz are adopted, the differential STBC method outperform the differential group codes method by 5 dB, 6. 5 dB and 7 dB, respectively. In other words, the differential modulation scheme based on space-time block code is better than the corresponding differential modulation scheme

Achievable secrecy rate of bit-interleaved coded modulation schemes

We study the impact of various modulation mapping strategies and signal constellation shapes on the se- crecy rates achievable with bit-interleaved coded modulation （BICM） schemes. Transmission over an ergodic Rayleigh fading channel is assumed throughout this work. Various constellations and mapping techniques are considered in this work to maximize the capacity difference between the main channel and the eavesdropper channel, rather than to opti- mize the capacity of both channels. We show that in terms of achievable secrecy rate, Gray and Quasi-Gray mappings only perform Well at low SNR but outperformed by other mapping techniques when SNR increases. The proper design of signal mapping can significantly enhance the achievable secrecy rate in BICM schemes. It is indicated that the key parameter to the secrecy rate of a BICM system is the distance spectrum of Euclidean distances for mappings.

A NOVEL LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL SPACE-TIME MODULATION

Based on the Complex Orthogonal Linear Dispersion (COLD) code,a novel linear Differ- ential Space-Time Modulation (DSTM) design is proposed in this paper.Compared with the existing nonlinear DSTM schemes based on group codes,the proposed linear DSTM scheme is easier to design, enjoys full diversity and allows for a simplified differential receiver,which can detect the transmitted symbols separately.Furthermore,compared with the existing linear DSTM based on orthogonal design, our new construction can be applied to any number of transmit antennas.Similar to other algorithms, the proposed scheme also can be demodulated with or without channel estimates at the receiver,but the performance degrades approximately by 3dB when estimates are not available.

Differential space-time modulation in rapidly fading channels

Previously proposed differential modulation schemes for time-varying channels may not achieve the full transmit diversity and the maximum Doppler diversity simultaneously. Based on an existing basis expansion model, a new differential space-time code, which wisely combines interleaver/de-interleaver with traditonal space-time transmitting technique to overcome such limitation, .is presented. Two noncoherent differential decoders, named decision-feedback differential detector （DF-DD） and Viterbi-algorithmbased multiple-symbol-detection differential detector （ MSD-DD）, are also derived. We show that our design may recover data symbols with full antenna diversity and the maximum Doppler diversity at high signal-to-noise ratio. System performance is evaluated with simulations.

Study on the Optimized Demodulation and Decoding of the BICM-ID system coded with LDPC

The demodulation and decoding solution commonly used in the bit interleaving code modulation and the LDPC coded demodulation and decoding system of the iterative decoding （BICM-ID） is to report the soft information output from the decoder of the receiver to the demodulator as priori information for completing the decoding. However, this will give rise to the reduction of the minimum Euclidean distances between codes, so that the performances of the system decline under non-fading Gaussian channel. According to this problem, an optimized iterative demodulation decoding solution is proposed and also is analyzed using simulation. The result shows that this solution can improve the demodulation and decoding performances of LDPC coded modulation and demodulation system.

MULTIPLE TRELLIS CODED ORTHOGONAL TRANSMIT SCHEME FOR MULTIPLE ANTENNA SYSTEMS

In this paper, a novel multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit scheme is proposed to exploit transmit diversity in fading channels. In this scheme, a unique vector from a set of orthogonal vectors is assigned to each transmit antenna. Each of the output symbols from the multiple trellis encoder is multiplied with one of these orthogonal vectors and transmitted from corresponding transmit antennas. By correlating with corresponding orthogonal vectors, the receiver separates symbols transmitted from different transmit antennas. This scheme can be adopted in coherent/differential systems with any number of transmit antennas. It is shown that the proposed scheme encompasses the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation based on the optimal cyclic group codes as a special case. We also propose two better designs over the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation. The first design uses 8 Phase Shift Keying （8-PSK） constellations instead of 16 Phase Shift Keying （16-PSK） constellations in the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation. As a result, the product distance of this new design is much larger than that of the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation. The second design introduces constellations with multiple levels of amplitudes into the design of the multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit scheme. For both designs, simulations show that multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit schemes can achieve better performance than the conventional trellis coded unitarv space-time schemes.

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.

Path Weight Complementary Convolutional Code for Type-Ⅱ Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation Hybrid ARQ System

Bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) is suitable to bandwidth-efficient communication systems. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) can provide more reliability to high-speed wireless data transmission. A new path weight complementary convolutional (PWCC) code used in the type-Ⅱ BICM-HARQ system is proposed. The PWCC code is composed of the original code and the complimentary code. The path in trellis with large hamming weight of the complimentary code is designed to compensate for the path in trellis with small hamming weight of the original code. Hence, both of the original code and the complimentary code can achieve the performance of the good code criterion of corresponding code rate. The throughput efficiency of the BICM-HARQ system wit PWCC code is higher than repeat code system, a little higher than puncture code system in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values and much higher than puncture code system, the same as repeat code system in high SNR values. These results are confirmed by the simulation.

An improved linear dispersion codes transmission scheme based on OSIC detection

Linear dispersion codes (LDCs) were originally designed based on maximum likelihood detection. They do not have good performance when using ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) detection. In this paper,we propose a new improved linear dispersion codes transmission scheme to combat performance loss of original LDCs when using OSIC detection. We introduce an interleaver to each data substream transmitted over different antennas after LDCs encoder. Furthermore,a new computer search criterion for a linear transformation matrix is also proposed. New search criterion is to minimize the symbol error rate based on OSIC detection. Computer simulations show that the performance of proposed LDCs transmission scheme is better than the original LDCs.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LOW DENSITY PARITY CHECK CODES FOR DIGITAL RADIO MONDIALE (DRM) SYSTEM

In Digital Radio Mondiale （DRM） system, achieving good audio quality becomes a challenge due to its limited band-width of 9 or 10kHz and the very bad lading channels. Therefore, DRM needs highly efficient channel coding schemes. This paper, proposes the schemes which use the Low-Density Parity-Check （LDPC） coded Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation （BICM） schemes for the implementation of DRM systems. Simulation results show that the proposed system is more efficient than the Rate Compatible Punctured Convolutional （RCPC） coded DRM system on various broadcast channels, and may be recommended as a coding technology for Digital Amplitude Modulation Broadcasting （DAMB） systems of China.

纠单个相邻对换错误置换码构造与编译码方法

等级调制方案是一种利用置换表示信息的编码方法,用来高效地写入和存储闪存设备的数据。该方案中,信息由单元电荷值的相对等级表示,而不是由单元电荷绝对值来表示。因此,可以构造置换上的等级调制码来缓解闪存单元的过度编程问题与电荷泄漏产生的相邻对换错误问题。从而,等级调制方案下的置换码可以提高闪存系统的可靠性。但是,对于多级存储单元的闪存系统,现有的纠单个相邻对换错误的等级调制置换码缺乏有效的编译码算法。为了解决这个问题,通过交织置换符号集的划分块集合上的两个置换码,提出了一种新的Kendallτ距离度量下可纠正单个相邻对换错误置换码的构造方法。然后,借助unranking映射与置换码的交织技术,提出了一种该类置换码的编码算法。同时,利用置换的ranking映射,提出了一种该类置换码的有效译码算法。所提出的置换码具有简单的结构,而且,通过计算实例验证了所提出的置换码构造方法及其编译码算法的有效性。

Understanding turbo codes: A signal processing study

In this paper,we study turbo codes from the digital signal processing point of view by defining turbo codes over the complex field.It is known that iterative decoding and interleaving between concatenated parallel codes are two key elements that make turbo codes perform significantly better than the conventional error control codes.This is analytically illustrated in this paper.We show that the decoded noise mean power in the iterative decoding decreases when the number of iterations increases,as long as the interleaving decorrelates the noise after each iterative decoding step.An analytic decreasing rate and the limit of the decoded noise mean power are given.The limit of the decoded noise mean power of the iterative decoding of a turbo code with two parallel codes with their rates less than 1/2 is one third of the noise power before the decoding,which can not be achieved by any non-turbo codes with the same rate.From this study,the role of designing a good interleaver can also be clearly seen.

Switching Between Antenna Subset Selection and Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Code in Presence of Correlation

We address the problem of adaptive modulation and coding scheme(AMCS) for a multi-input multioutput(MIMO) system in presence of time-varying transmitting correlation.Antenna subset selection and quasiorthogonal space-time block code(QOSTBC) have different error performances with different signal-to-noise ratios(SNRs) and in different spatial correlation scenarios.The error performance can be improved by selecting an appropriate transmission scheme to adapt to various channel conditions.The maximum distance criterion is the simplest and very effective algorithm for the antenna subset selection without needs of complex calculation and channel state information at transmitter(CSIT).The minimum error performance criteria and the simplified linear decision strategy are developed for constant transmission rate traffic to select the optimal transmission scheme.It can dramatically decrease algorithm complexity for obtaining error probability according to the known quantities comparing with using instant CSIT.Simulation results show that,remarkable performances including low SNR and weak spatial correlation at the expense of simple calculation and almost no bandwidth loss by adopting AMCS can be achieved.The proposed AMCS improves robustness of slowly varying spatial correlated channels.

Differential space-time block-diagonal codes

A new differential space-time code, called differential space-time block-diagonal code （DSTBDC）, is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） wireless communication systems. By exploiting the block-diagonal construction of DSTBDC, we can design a variety of high-performance DSTBDC, especially for the cases of large numbers of transmit antennas and high date rates. In flat fading channels, DSTBDC outperforms traditional differential space-time codes if the data rate is higher than 1 bps/Hz, especially when the number of transmit antennas is large. In frequency-selective fading channels, multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing （MIMO-OFDM） systems using DSTBDC have the powerful ability to achieve very high diversity gain in space, time, and frequency simultaneously. Due to the special orthogonal construction, DSTBDC has a simple decoding algorithm. In addition, DSTBDC can significantly save the cost of radio frequency circuits.
