    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

    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

    Capacity -based parameter optimization of bandwidth constrained CPM

    Continuous phase modulation (CPM) is an attractive modulation choice for bandwidth limited systems due to its small side lobes, fast spectral decay and the ability to be noncoherently detected. Furthermore, the constant envelope property of CPM permits highly power efficient amplification. The design of bit-interleaved coded continuous phase modulation is characterized by the code rate, modulation order, modulation index, and pulse shape. This dissertation outlines a methodology for determining the optimal values of these parameters under bandwidth and receiver complexity constraints. The cost function used to drive the optimization is the information-theoretic minimum ratio of energy-per-bit to noise-spectral density found by evaluating the constrained channel capacity. The capacity can be reliably estimated using Monte Carlo integration. A search for optimal parameters is conducted over a range of coded CPM parameters, bandwidth efficiencies, and channels. Results are presented for a system employing a trellis-based coherent detector. To constrain complexity and allow any modulation index to be considered, a soft output differential phase detector has also been developed.;Building upon the capacity results, extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts are used to analyze a system that iterates between demodulation and decoding. Convergence thresholds are determined for the iterative system for different outer convolutional codes, alphabet sizes, modulation indices and constellation mappings. These are used to identify the code and modulation parameters with the best energy efficiency at different spectral efficiencies for the AWGN channel. Finally, bit error rate curves are presented to corroborate the capacity and EXIT chart designs

    Sparse graph-based coding schemes for continuous phase modulations

    The use of the continuous phase modulation (CPM) is interesting when the channel represents a strong non-linearity and in the case of limited spectral support; particularly for the uplink, where the satellite holds an amplifier per carrier, and for downlinks where the terminal equipment works very close to the saturation region. Numerous studies have been conducted on this issue but the proposed solutions use iterative CPM demodulation/decoding concatenated with convolutional or block error correcting codes. The use of LDPC codes has not yet been introduced. Particularly, no works, to our knowledge, have been done on the optimization of sparse graph-based codes adapted for the context described here. In this study, we propose to perform the asymptotic analysis and the design of turbo-CPM systems based on the optimization of sparse graph-based codes. Moreover, an analysis on the corresponding receiver will be done

    Design of Simplified Maximum-Likelihood Receivers for Multiuser CPM Systems

    Get PDF
    A class of simplified maximum-likelihood receivers designed for continuous phase modulation based multiuser systems is proposed. The presented receiver is built upon a front end employing mismatched filters and a maximum-likelihood detector defined in a low-dimensional signal space. The performance of the proposed receivers is analyzed and compared to some existing receivers. Some schemes are designed to implement the proposed receivers and to reveal the roles of different system parameters. Analysis and numerical results show that the proposed receivers can approach the optimum multiuser receivers with significantly (even exponentially in some cases) reduced complexity and marginal performance degradation

    It tema centrale di questa tesi è la rivelazione multi-utente per sistemi di comunicazione wireless ad elevata efficienza spettrale. Lo scopo del lavoro è quello di proporre nuovi ricevitori multi-utente a bassa complessità con elevate prestazioni. Sono considerati sistemi satellitari basati su FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing), in cui ogni utente adotta una modulazione CPM (Continuous Phase Modulation) concatenata serialmente con un codificatore tramite un interlacciatore e decodifica iterativa. Si considerano, inoltre, canali lineari in presenza di AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise). In particolare, si studiano sistemi FDM, in cui i canali adiacenti possono sovrapporsi in frequenza per aumentere l'efficienza spettrale, e sistemi CDMA (code division multiple access). Per gli scenari presi in esame, proponiamo schemi di rivelazione con un eccellente compromesso tra prestazioni e complessità computazionale, che permettono di implementare schemi di trasmissione con straordinaria efficienza spettrale, al prezzo di un limitato aumento di complessità rispetto ad un classico ricevitore singolo-utente che ignora l'interferenza.This thesis deals with multiuser detection (MUD) for spectrally-efficient wireless communication systems. The aim of this work is to propose new advanced low-complexity multiuser receivers with near-optimal detection performance. We consider frequency division multiplexing (FDM) satellite systems where each user employs a continuous phase modulation (CPM), serially concatenated with an outer code through an interleaver, and iterative detection/decoding. We also consider linear channels impaired by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), focusing on FDM systems where adjacent channels are allowed to overlap in frequency, and on code division multiple access systems (CDMA). For the considered scenarios, we propose detection schemes with an excel- lent performance/complexity tradeoff which allow us to implement transmission schemes with unprecedented spectral efficiency at a price of a limited complexity increase with respect to a classical single-user receiver which neglects the interference
