    This paper focuses on the noncoherent iterative detection of continuous phase modulation. A class of simplified receivers based on Principal-Component-Analysis (PCA) and Exponential-Window (EW) is developed. The proposed receiver is evaluated in terms of minimum achievable Euclidean distance, simulated bit error rate and achievable capacity. The performance of the proposed receiver is discussed in the context of mismatched receiver and the equivalent Euclidean distance is derived. Analysis and numerical results reveal that the proposed algorithm can approach the coherent performance and outperforms existing algorithm in terms of complexity and performance. It is shown that the proposed receiver can significantly reduce the detection complexity while the performance is comparable with existing algorithms

    Capacity-achieving CPM schemes

    The pragmatic approach to coded continuous-phase modulation (CPM) is proposed as a capacity-achieving low-complexity alternative to the serially-concatenated CPM (SC-CPM) coding scheme. In this paper, we first perform a selection of the best spectrally-efficient CPM modulations to be embedded into SC-CPM schemes. Then, we consider the pragmatic capacity (a.k.a. BICM capacity) of CPM modulations and optimize it through a careful design of the mapping between input bits and CPM waveforms. The so obtained schemes are cascaded with an outer serially-concatenated convolutional code to form a pragmatic coded-modulation system. The resulting schemes exhibit performance very close to the CPM capacity without requiring iterations between the outer decoder and the CPM demodulator. As a result, the receiver exhibits reduced complexity and increased flexibility due to the separation of the demodulation and decoding functions.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information Theor

    Serially Concatenated Coded Continuous Phase Modulation for Aeronautical Telemetry

    This thesis treats the development of bandwidth-efficient serially concatenated coded (SCC) continuous phase modulation (CPM) techniques for aeronautical telemetry. The concatenated code consists of an inner and an outer code, separated by an interleaver in most configurations, and is decoded using relatively simple near-optimum iterative decoding algorithms. CPM waveforms such as shaped-offset quadrature phase shift keying (SOQPSK) and pulse code modulation/frequency modulation (PCM/FM), which are currently used in military satellite and aeronautical telemetry standards, can be viewed as inner codes due to their recursive nature. For the outer codes, this thesis applies serially concatenated convolutional codes (SCCC), turbo-product codes (TPC) and repeat-accumulate codes (RAC) because of their large coding gains, high code rates, and because their decoding algorithms are readily implemented. High-rate codes are of special interest in aeronautical telemetry applications due to recent reductions in available spectrum and ever-increasing demands on data rates. This thesis evaluates the proposed coding schemes with a large set of numerical simulation results and makes a number of recommendations based on these results

    Asymptotic Analysis and Design of LDPC Codes for Laurent-based Optimal and Suboptimal CPM Receivers

    International audienceIn this paper, we derive an asymptotic analysis for a capacity approaching design of serially concatenated turbo schemes with low density parity check (LDPC) codes and continuous phase modulation (CPM) based on Laurent decomposition. The proposed design is based on extrinsic mutual information evolution and Gaussian approximation. By inserting partial interleavers between LDPC and CPM and allowing degree-1 variable nodes under a certain constraint we show that designed rates are very close to the maximum achievable rates. Furthermore, we discuss the selection of low complexity receivers that works with the same optimized profiles

    Serially Concatenated Continuous Phase Modulation with SOVA Turbo Decoding

    Get PDF
    For a Serially Concatenated Continuous Phase Modulation (SCCPM) system that concatenates a rate of 1/2 Convolutional Code (CC) and an M-ary full response continuous phase modulation (CPM) signal, we design a turbo decoding scheme using the Soft Output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA) and study the system performance. A decomposition model is used in CPM to reduce the number of states and separate the continuous phase encoder (CPE) with the modulator. As a soft-input soft-output (SISO) decoding algorithm, SOVA is used to generate and update the soft information of decoded signal symbols during the iterative process for both the CPM signal and the CC. Newly generated soft information from one component decoder will be used by the other component decoder to constitute an iterative, i.e., turbo, decoding process. Simulation results show that a decoding gain of at least 1 dB can be obtained by using turbo decoding compared to that without turbo decoding

    Low-complexity Noncoherent Iterative CPM Demodulator for FH Communication

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we investigate the noncoherent iterative demodulation of coded continuous phase modulation (CPM) in frequency hopped (FH) systems. In this field, one important problem is that the complexity of the optimal demodulator is prohibitive unless the number of symbols per hop duration is very small. To solve this problem, we propose a novel demodulator, which reduces the complexity by applying phase quantization and exploiting the phase rotational invariance property of CPM signals. As shown by computational complexity analysis and numerical results, the proposed demodulator approaches the performance of the optimal demodulator, and provides considerable performance improvement over the existing solutions with the same computational complexity

    Linear predictive receivers for phase-uncertain channels

    Full text link
    In this paper, we propose linear predictive receivers for phaseuncertain channels. These receivers are attractive from a conceptual viewpoint because they generalize previous solutions based on noncoherent sequence detection. On the practical side, the proposed algorithms lend themselves to the implementation of adaptive receivers capable of copying with possible time variations of the statistics of the underlying phase model. 1
