Performance Analysis of Coherent and Noncoherent Modulation under I/Q Imbalance
In-phase/quadrature-phase Imbalance (IQI) is considered a major
performance-limiting impairment in direct-conversion transceivers. Its effects
become even more pronounced at higher carrier frequencies such as the
millimeter-wave frequency bands being considered for 5G systems. In this paper,
we quantify the effects of IQI on the performance of different modulation
schemes under multipath fading channels. This is realized by developing a
general framework for the symbol error rate (SER) analysis of coherent phase
shift keying, noncoherent differential phase shift keying and noncoherent
frequency shift keying under IQI effects. In this context, the moment
generating function of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio is first
derived for both single-carrier and multi-carrier systems suffering from
transmitter (TX) IQI only, receiver (RX) IQI only and joint TX/RX IQI.
Capitalizing on this, we derive analytic expressions for the SER of the
different modulation schemes. These expressions are corroborated by comparisons
with corresponding results from computer simulations and they provide insights
into the dependence of IQI on the system parameters. We demonstrate that the
effects of IQI differ considerably depending on the considered system as some
cases of single-carrier transmission appear robust to IQI, whereas
multi-carrier systems experiencing IQI at the RX require compensation in order
to achieve a reliable communication link
Near-Capacity Turbo Coded Soft-decision Aided DAPSK/Star-QAM
Low-complexity non-coherently detected Differential Amplitude and Phase-Shift Keying (DAPSK) schemes constitute an ideal candidate for wireless communications. In this paper, we derive the soft-output probability formulas required for the soft-decision based demodulation of DAPSK, which are then invoked for Turbo Coded (TC) transmissions. Furthermore, the achievable throughput characteristics of the family of M-ary DAPSK schemes are provided. It is shown that the proposed 4-ring based TC assisted 64-ary DAPSK scheme achieves a coding gain of about 4.2 dBs in comparison to the identical-throughput TC assisted 64-ary Differential Phase-Shift Keying (64-DPSK) scheme at a bit error ratio of 10?5
Design guidelines for spatial modulation
A new class of low-complexity, yet energyefficient Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) transmission techniques, namely the family of Spatial Modulation (SM) aided MIMOs (SM-MIMO) has emerged. These systems are capable of exploiting the spatial dimensions (i.e. the antenna indices) as an additional dimension invoked for transmitting information, apart from the traditional Amplitude and Phase Modulation (APM). SM is capable of efficiently operating in diverse MIMO configurations in the context of future communication systems. It constitutes a promising transmission candidate for large-scale MIMO design and for the indoor optical wireless communication whilst relying on a single-Radio Frequency (RF) chain. Moreover, SM may also be viewed as an entirely new hybrid modulation scheme, which is still in its infancy. This paper aims for providing a general survey of the SM design framework as well as of its intrinsic limits. In particular, we focus our attention on the associated transceiver design, on spatial constellation optimization, on link adaptation techniques, on distributed/ cooperative protocol design issues, and on their meritorious variants
Coherent optical binary polarisation shift keying heterodyne system in the free-space optical turbulence channel
In this paper, analytical and simulation results for the bit error rate (BER) performance and fading penalty of a coherent optical binary polarization shift keying (2PolSK) heterodyne system adopted for a free space optical (FSO) communication link modeled as the log-normal and the negative exponential atmospheric turbulence channels are presented. The conditional and unconditional BER expressions are derived, demonstrating the comprehensive similarity between the 2PolSK and the binary frequency shift keying (2FSK) schemes with regards to the system sensitivity. The power penalty due to the non-ideal polarization beam splitter (PBS) is also analyzed. The receiver sensitivity employing 2PolSK is compared with other modulation schemes in the presence of turbulence and the phase noise. The results show that 2PolSK offers improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance compared to the binary amplitude shift keying (2ASK)
Feasibility Study of OFDM-MFSK Modulation Scheme for Smart Metering Technology
The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing based M-ary Frequency Shift
Keying (OFDM-MFSK) is a noncoherent modulation scheme which merges MFSK with
the OFDM waveform. It is designed to improve the receiver sensitivity in the
hard environments where channel estimation is very difficult to perform. In
this paper, the OFDM-MFSK is suggested for the smart metering technology and
its performance is measured and compared with the ordinary OFDM-BPSK. Our
results show that, depending on the MFSK size value (M), the Packet Error Rate
(PER) has dramatically improved for OFDM-MFSK. Additionally, the adaptive
OFDM-MFSK, which selects the best M value that gives the minimum PER and higher
throughput for each Smart Meter (SM), has better coverage than OFDM-BPSK.
Although its throughput and capacity are lower than OFDMBPSK, the connected SMs
per sector are higher. Based on the smart metering technology requirements
which imply the need for high coverage and low amount of data exchanged between
the network and the SMs, The OFDM-MFSK can be efficiently used in this
technology.Comment: 6 pages, 11 figures, ISGT Europe 201
