In this paper, we present a bitwise metric generating function for a binary reflected Gray coded (BRGC) M-PSK signal by means of coordinate rotation. Using the properties of the BRGC mapping, we minimize the number of coordinate rotations. The proposed function does not rely on channel state information (CSI), and provides low implementing complexity.

In this paper, we present a symbol remapping method of BRGC M-ary QAM signal by using LLR soft bit decision information which is obtained after iterative decoding process. In order to reconstruct estimated transmitted signal constellation, we have to use exponential or hyperbolic tangent(tanh) function resulting in high implementation complexity. The BRGC mapping rule enables us to use a recursive operation. In addtion, we reduce the implementing complexity by using a curve fitting algorithm.
