본 논문에서는 부호화된 4+12+16 APSK에 대하여 낮은 복잡도를 갖는 근사화된 연판정 디매핑 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 도출하기 위해 4+12+16 APSK의 결정 경계를 근사화하고, 그 근사화된 결정 경계로부터 각 비트에 대한 LLR 값을 계산한다. 새롭게 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 max-log 알고리즘보다 곱셈 계산 수를 상당히 줄여 수신기 복잡도를 크게 낮출 수 있으며, 낮은 복잡도로 인한 BER 성능 열화를 약 1.1dB 이하로 줄일 수 있다.

A 4+12+16 amplitude phase shift keying (APSK) modulation outperforms other 32-APSK modulations in a nonlinear additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel because of its intrinsic robustness against AM/AM and AM/PM distortions caused by the nonlinear characteristics of a high-power amplifier. Thus, this modulation scheme has been adopted in the digital video broadcasting-satellite2 European standard. And it has been considered for high rate transmission of telemetry data on deep space communications in consultative committee for space data systems which provides a forum for discussion of common problems in the development and operation of space data systems. In this paper, we present an improved bits-to-symbol mapping scheme with a better bit error rate for a 4+12+16 APSK signal in a nonlinear AWGN channel and propose a simple signal detection algorithm for the 4+12+16 APSK from the presented bit mapping.

Rain attenuation can cause a serious problem that an availability of space communication link on Ka band becomes low. To reduce the effect of rain attenuation on the error performance of space communications in Ka band, an adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) scheme is required. In this paper, to achieve a reliable telemetry data transmission, we propose an adaptive coding and modulation level using turbo code recommended by the consultative committee for space data systems (CCSDS) and various modulation methods (QPSK, 8PSK, 4+12 APSK, and 4+12+16 APSK) adopted in the digital video broadcasting-satellite2 (DVB-S2).
