Fuzzy Model of 16PSK and 16QAM Modulation

In the paper, a concept of Additive Fuzzy Noise (AFN) channel is introduced. The theoretical equations are derived for Bit Error Rate (BER) and Symbol Error Rate (SER) with some digital modulation scheme in the AFN channel. Following modulations are considered: Phase Shift Keying (16PSK), Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16QAM). The fuzzy approach to these modulations is presented. The BER and SER values are calculated using possibility theory. The results obtained by fuzzy noise model are compared with conventional approach, where probability models of the noise are used
