Turbo codes with non-uniform constellations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Absrract-This paper presents parallel concatenated turbo codes that employ a non-uniform constellation to achieve shaping gain. The output signal approximates the Gaussian distribution by using equally likely signals with unequal spacing (a non-uniform constellation). The small distance of points near the center of the constellation may lead to a small overall free distance and thus a high error floor for turbo codes. We avoid this situation by a two-step design procedure, that first creates an interleaver according to the criteria in 113, and then identifies the constituent encoders that maximize the turbo code free distance. Simulation results for 4 bitshedHz show that this use of shaping can offer an improvement of approximately 0.2 dB for turbo codes.

Iterative Detection and Channel Estimation for WCDMA Systems Employing Non-Uniform QAM Constellations
In this paper we consider the use of non-uniform QAM constellations (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) for broadcast or multicast transmissions within WCDMA-based systems (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). These constellations are employed so as to increase the transmission efficiency, since they are able to provide unequal error protection. This allows the transmission of several simulta...
متن کاملCoded Modulation for Dpsk on Fading Channels
| Coded modulation for di erentially encoded PSK with non{coherent reception on at fading channels is considered. We derive theoretical limits on the performance and show how to design multilevel coding schemes and bit{interleaved coded modulation. Since Gray labeling is not possible for multiple symbol di erential detection and PSK constellations, bit{interleaved coded modulation exhibits seve...

313 that the best 8-ary constellation is either the 8-PSK, or 8-cross, or (1; 7) depending on the desired spectral efficiency. As for the case of 16-ary constellations, the most attractive signal set is rectangular 16-QAM for all spectral efficiencies of practical interest. These results have been confirmed by computer simulations of BICM schemes combining turbo codes and several signal sets. T...
متن کاملTransmission of Non-Uniform Memoryless Sources over Wireless Fading Channels via Non-Systematic Turbo Codes1
In this work, we investigate the joint source-channel coding problem of transmitting non-uniform memoryless sources over wireless Rayleigh fading channels via Turbo codes. The source redundancy in the form of non-uniformity is exploited in the Turbo decoder by incorporating the source statistics in the modified extrinsic information. In contrast to previous work, non-systematic recursive convol...
متن کاملNonlinear Turbo Codes for the AWGN Channel with Higher-Order Modulations and the OR Multiple Access Channel
This paper addresses the problem of designing parallel concatenated nonlinear trellis codes (PC-NLTCs). These codes have advantages over binary linear turbo codes for higher-order modulations or in applications where a non-uniform distribution of ones and zeros in the output is optimal. Two applications are considered in this work. First, this paper shows that for higher-order modulations using...
