Performance of equalized I-Q 16-QAM in frequency selective fading

The demand for high speed wireless systems dictates the use of bandwidth efficient modulation schemes. Trellis coded I-Q 16-QAM is shown here to be suitable for such applications. The performance of this scheme with decision feedback equalization is evaluated over a two-ray Rayleigh channel. Comparisons between the I-Q scheme with a conventional TCM scheme based on 8-PSK show coding gains of about 4 dB at a BER of 10 -

Enhancing MB-OFDM throughput with dual circular 32-QAM

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) and Dual Carrier Modulation (DCM) are currently used as the modulation schemes for Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) in the ECMA-368 defined Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio platform. ECMA-368 has been chosen as the physical radio platform for many systems including Wireless USB (W-USB), Bluetooth 3.0 and Wireless HDMI; hence ECMA-368 is an important issue to consumer electronics and the users experience of these products. To enable the transport of high-rate USB, ECMA-368 offers up to 480 Mb/s instantaneous bit rate to the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, but depending on radio channel conditions dropped packets unfortunately result in a lower throughput. This paper presents an alternative high data rate modulation scheme that fits within the configuration of the current standard increasing system throughput by achieving 600 Mb/s (reliable to 3.1 meters) thus maintaining the high rate USB throughput even with a moderate level of dropped packets. The modulation system is termed Dual Circular 32-QAM (DC 32-QAM). The system performance for DC 32-QAM modulation is presented and compared with 16-QAM and DCM1
