On Block-Coded Modulation Using Unequal Error Protection Codes Over Rayleigh-Fading Channels
This paper considers block-coded 8-phase-shift-keying (PSK) modulations for the unequal error protection (UEP) of information transmitted over Rayleigh-fading channels. Both conventional linear block codes and linear UEP (LUEP) codes are combined with a naturally labeled 8-PSK signal set, using the multilevel construction of Imai and Hirakawa (1977). Computer simulation results are presented showing that, over Rayleigh-fading channels, it is possible to improve the coding gain for the most significant bits with the use of binary LUEP codes as constituent codes, in comparison with using conventional binary linear codes alone
Rigorous Estimation of SNR of a PSK Communication Link
An improved method of estimating the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a phase-shift keying (PSK) communication link is founded on a rigorous statistical analysis of the input to, and the output from, the PSK demodulator in the receiver. The improved method is free of unwarranted simplifying assumptions and does not require the use of a propagation receiver
Constellation design for cascaded MPSK-CSK systems
Abstract: This paper proposes a constellation design for color shift keying (CSK) based on phase shift keying (PSK) conversion, to be used in cascaded power line communications (PLC) and visible light communications (VLC) systems integration. We optimize the design of MPSK-CSK constellations and analyze the performance of MPSK-CSK systems based on the optimized Euclidean distance calculated on the red-green-blue (RGB) color space
Capacity and Modulations with Peak Power Constraint
A practical communication channel often suffers from constraints on input
other than the average power, such as the peak power constraint. In order to
compare achievable rates with different constellations as well as the channel
capacity under such constraints, it is crucial to take these constraints into
consideration properly. In this paper, we propose a direct approach to compare
the achievable rates of practical input constellations and the capacity under
such constraints. As an example, we study the discrete-time complex-valued
additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and compare the capacity under the
peak power constraint with the achievable rates of phase shift keying (PSK) and
quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) input constellations.Comment: 9 pages with 12 figures. Preparing for submissio
Modeling of the PSK utilization at the signal transmission in the optical transmission medium
This paper deals with a modeling of the phase shift keying (PSK) and the possibility of implementing PSK modulations using Mach-Zehnder modulators in the Matlab simulation environment. Next, a simulation of selected multi-level PSK modulations utilizing at the signal transmission in the optical transmission medium is executed. Finally, a comparison of modulated optical signals before and after passing a model of the optical transmission path is introduced, using constellation diagrams, signal characteristics, eye diagrams and waterfall curves of individual signals
