Previously. TCM decoder has been using the Viterbi algorithm that was complex. In order to reduce the complexity of decoder. we proposed the “modified decoding algorithm using the path back method” and the modified decoding algorithm which extends the previous decoding algorithm to be able to applied to TCM decoder in this paper. On the gaussian and impulsive noise channel. Monte-Carlo simulation is used for analyzing the TCM performance and proving the efficiency of proposed decoding algorithm.

본 논문에서는 디지틀 이동 통신 시스템의 열악한 페이딩 채널에 적합한 변복조 반식중의 하나인${\pi}$/4-shift QPSK 성능을 논하고, 그 성능 개선을 위한 새로운 TCM(trellis-coded modulation)을 적응하여 trellis-부호화된${\pi}$/8-shift 8SPSK 방식을 제안 한다. 기존의 ${\pi}$/4-shift QPSK변조 방식에 TCM의 도입은 요구된 대역폭과 송신 전력과 전송을 그대로 유지하면서 부호화와 변조를 일체화함으로서 부호화 이득(coding gain)을 얻을 수 있다. 이동 통신 채널에서 trellis-부호화된 ${\pi}$/8-shift 8PSK방식의 시스템 성능을 추정하기 위해서, 가산 백색 가우시안 잡음과 레일레이 페이딩 현상이 존재하는 채널에서, 차량속도 변화에 따른 도플러 효과에 의한 페이딩율이 10Hz와 30Hz인 두 경우에 대해 시스템을 모델링한다. Trellis-부호화된${\pi}$/8-shift 8PSK에 대한 부호화 이득은 비트 에러 확률을 적용하여 분석하고, 기본 시스템과 새롭게 모델링 되어진 시스템의 개선된 성능을 비교하기 위해, TCM의 상태수를 4,8,16으로 선정하여 비교 구현해 본 결과, 상태수가 커질수록 더 좋은 성능을 나타내고, 기존의 ${\pi}$/4-shift QPSK보다 trellis-부호된 ${\pi}$/8-shift 8PSK는 가산 백색 가우시안 잡음채널에서는 3~4dB의 부호화 이득을 얻고, 레일레이 페이티 채널하에서 3~16dB정도의 부호화 이득을 얻음을 알 수 있다.

In this paper. for $\pi$/4 and $\pi$/8 PSK. we proposed to condition to obtain coding gain increasing states, by design encoder of analytical method with minimal complexity in limited bandwidth and power channels. In order to improve the bit error rate(BER), comparing Ungerboeck designed the TCM. we propose MTCM(Multiple trellis-coded modulation) with multiplicity(k＝2), by optimum encoder design. By design encoder of analytical method. the trellis encoder can be minimal complexity and the decoder be used Viterbi decoder(MLSE). When compared to the TCM and MTCM with AWGN channels. the condition of performance enhancement of the MTCM with multiplicity(k＝2) is the case of parallel transition in TCM systems. without alternating data transmission rate in bandwidth and power limited channels.

In land mobile communications, multipath fading is one of the key factors which affect the system performance. Some extensive studies have been carried out to improve the degraded performance under this fading channels. The PSAM channel compensation method using channel fading estimation is widely used and TCM is a combined coding and modulation technique that has been shown to provide significant coding gain without increasing the transmission bandwidth. In this paper, we analyze the performance of PSA-TC-8PSK which combines PSAM and TCM over frequency nonselective fading channels. To estimate channel fading, Wiener filter which minimizes error variance is used as compensation method and we analyze the affects on the system performance of the number of filter taps, period of the pilot symbol frame, and the Doppler frequency. In addition, we consider the symbol timing recovery circuit which can be implemented in the full-digital method and analyze the effects of symbol timing error on the system performance.

In this paper, in order to apply the $\pi/4$ shift QPSK to TCM, we propose the $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK modulation technique and the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK performing signal set expansion and partition by phase difference. In addition, the Viterbi decoder with branch metrics of the squared Euclidean distance of the first phase difference as well as the Lth phase different is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate(BER) performance in differential detection of the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK. The proposed Viterbi decoder is conceptually the same as the sliding multiple detection by using the branch metric with first and Lth order phase difference. We investigate the performance of the uncoded $\pi/4$ shift QPSK and the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK with or without the Lth phase difference metric in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) using the Monte Carlo simulation. The study shows that the $\pi/4$ shift QPSK with the Trellis-code i.e. the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK is an attractive scheme for power and bandlimited systems and especially, the Viterbi decoder with first and Lth phase difference metrics improves BER performance. Also, the nest proposed algorithm can be used in the TC $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK as well as TCMDPSK.

In this paper, we propose $\pi$/8 shift 8PSK and trellis-coded $\pi$/8 shift 8PSK-OFDM techniques by applying $\pi$/4 shift QPSK to trellis-coded modulation (TCM), and performing signal set expansion and set partition correspondingly based on phase difference. In our Viterbi decoding algorithm, up to L phase differences from successively received symbols are employed in the new branch metrics. Such sliding multiple symbol detection (SMSD) method provides improved bit-error-rate (BER) performance in the differential detection of the trellis-coded $\pi$/8 shift 8PSK-OFDM signals. The performance improvements are achieved for different communication channels without sacrificing bandwidth and power efficiency. It thus makes the proposed modulation and sliding detection scheme more attractive for power and band-limited systems.

TCM(Trellis-Coded Modulation)은 대역폭과 전력이 제한된 채널환경에서 채널부호화 기술과 변조기술을 결합시켜 대역폭의 증가없이 에러정정능력을 개선시키는 통신 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 TCM 신호의 복호시 사용되는 Viterbi decoder에서 traceback depth의 감소에 따른 BER(Bit Error Rate)의 증가를 개선하기 위해 수신부에서 설정하는 traceback depth를 주기로 blocking하여 TCM encoder의 입력시퀀스에 zero padding bits를 추가시키는 새로운 알고리듬을 제안한다. 모의실험결과, traceback depth가 50인 hard decision의 경우 약 2~2.5dB, 4-level soft decision과 8-level soft decision의 경우 약 0.3~2dB의 coding gain을 얻을 수 있었다.
