Block Coded Modulation with a Modified Block Structure for UWB-Impulse Radio  

Min, Seungwook (Sangmyung University Department of Computer Science)
Abstract
Non-coherent UWB receivers are promising due to the low hardware complexity while the coherent receiver such as the rake receiver requires the complex hardware to estimate channel characteristics and get the synchronization. In this letter, the block coded modulation scheme as one of the most promising method is enhanced in terms of the performance. The performance enhancement is carried out by the modification of the block structure with unequal frame length for each pulse. Simulation results show that the proposed method has the performance enhancement by the transmission rate or bit error rate.
