Block Turbo code modulation for MB-OFDM-based cognitive radio to suppress its side-band interferences

To suppress the side-band interferences caused by multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （MB-OFDM）-based cognitive radio systems, a mathematical expression of the side-band signal is derived. Based on this expression, the constraints among the transmitted symbols, which help to suppress the interferences, are obtained. Combined with the constraints, a type of block Turbo code modulation scheme is proposed. In the modulation scheme, the side-band interferences are attenuated quickly. Compared with other techniques, in this scheme, the interference suppression is implemented more easily and sufficiently. Simultaneously, the bit error rate （BER） performance can be improved. Theoretical analyses and simulation results show that it is highly applicable for MB-OFDM-based cognitive radio systems to suffer from Rayleigh fading.

Optimization of Mapping Rule of Bit-Interleaved Turbo Coded Modulation with 16QAM

Optimization of mapping rule of bit-interleaved Turbo coded modulation with 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is investigated based on different impacts of various encoded bits sequence on Turbo decoding performance. Furthermore, bit-interleaved in-phase and quadrature phase (I-Q) Turbo coded modulation scheme are designed similarly with I-Q trellis coded modulation (TCM). Through performance evaluation and analysis, it can be seen that the novel mapping rule outperforms traditional one and the I-Q Turbo coded modulation can not achieve good performance as expected. Therefore, there is not obvious advantage in using I-Q method in bit-interleaved Turbo coded modulation.

Pragmatic Approach to Adaptive Turbo Coded Modulation

This paper presents a pragmatic adaptive scheme for TuCM over slowly fading channels. The adaptive scheme employs a single turbo coded modulator composed of a variable-rate turbo encoder and a variable-rate variable-power MQAM for all fading regions, so it has an acceptable complexity to implement. The optimal adaptive TuCM scheme is determined subject to various system constraints. Simulations have been performed to measure the performance of the scheme for different parameters. It is shown that adopting both the turbo coded modulator and the transmit power achieves a performance within 2.5 dB of the fading channel capacity.

Dual Adaptive Turbo Coded Modulation for Integrated Multimedia Service Transmission

This paper proposes a cross-layer dual adaptive coded modulation architecture using turbo codes for mobile multimedia communication, which adapts to both the varying channel characteristics and the QoS of various multimedia services simultancously to increase the average system throughput substantially. A pragmatic channeladaptive turbo coded modulation schcme, which comes within 2.5 dB of the Shannon limit, is optimally designed, and then a QoS-adaptive scheme is superimposed to build the dual adaptive architecture. Simulation results show that the novel dual adaption reduces the gap from the fading channel capacity to 2 dB when assuming different services occur in equal probability and the service duration follows exponential distribution.

Performance analysis of adaptive turbo coded modulation with time delay

The method of data fitting is applied to obtain the BER expression for turbo coded modulation, and a fitting mathematical model is proposed, which resolves the problem that there is no exact BER expression for turbo coded modulation in performance analysis. With the time delay consideration, the performance of BER of adaptive turbo coded modulation is analyzed and simulated. The results show that adaptive turbo coded modulation is very sensitive to time delay. In order to meet the target BER requirement, the total time delay should be less than 0 001/f D.

A channel- and QoS-adaptive turbo coded modulation architecture for mobile multimedia communication

This paper proposed a cross-layer dual adaptive coded modulation architecture using turbo codes for mobile muhimedia communication, which simultaneously adapted to both the varying channel characteristics and the quality of service （QoS） of various mobile multimedia services to increase the average system throughput substantially. A pragmatic channel-adaptive turbo coded modulation scheme, which comes within 2.5dB of the Shannon limit, was optimally designed, and then a QoS-adaptive scheme was superimposed to build the dual adaptive architecture. Simulation results show that the novel dual adaption reduces the difference with the fading channel capacity to 2dB when assuming different services occur in equal probability and the service duration follows the exponential distribution.

Performance Research on Turbo TCM Schemes Using Different Set Partitioning Strategies for Fading Channels

Two different set partitioning strategies used in Turbo TCM, UP （Ungerboeck Partitioning） and BP （Block Partitioning） are compared over Rayleigh fading channels. The performance of Turbo TCM with the two set partitioning strategies and different frame length over Rayleigh fading channels is evaluated. The simulation results of 8PSK and 8ASK modulation and some significant conclusions are also given in this paper.

A Practical Adaptive TuCM Scheme for Rayleigh Flat Fading Channels

A practical adaptive turbo coded modulation (TuCM) scheme was proposed and its adaptive method was described. With some hardware considerations, a suboptimal optimization algorithm that the number of fading regions is variable was put forward. Furthermore, the cutoff fade depth of power adaptation was modified to reduce the interruption probability. The results show that the proposed adaptive TuCM comes within 3 dB of Rayleigh fading channel capacity, and exhibits about 3 dB power gain relative to the conventional adaptive trellis-coded modulation (TCM), and is easy to realize by hardware.
