This paper suggests and analyzes the Serially Concatenated Space-Time Code(SCSTC) with the possibility of a efficient high-speed transmission in a band limited channel. The suggested code has a structure that uses the interleaver to connect the space-time code as an inner code and the convolutional code as a outer code serially. This code keeps the advantage of high-speed transmission and also has the high BER performance. The performance of the suggested system is compared with the conventional bandwidth efficient trellis coded modulation, such as a Serially Concatenated Trellis Coded Modulation (SCTCM) and a Turbo-Trellis Coded Modulation(Turbo-TCM). The results show that the suggested system has a 2.8dB and 3dB better BER performance than SCTCM and Turbo-TCM respectively in case of the transmission rate 2b/s/Hz in fading channel.

Multilevel modulation schemes are known to be highly bandwidth efficient. By varying modulation level adaptively according to channel conditions (i.e. adaptive QAM schemes or AQAM), high bandwidth efficiency can be achieved. This paper considers the effect of time delay on the adaptive QAM schemes in dispersive fading channels. In order to undertake investigations effectively, a simulator has been developed. The simulation results show that the BER performance obtained for the wideband channel with a delay spread of 0.75 $\mu$sec is better than 10$^{-4}$ with a SNR value of 40 ㏈ and ABPS is found to be approximately 5.5.

A binary continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK), whose phase is a continuous function of time and instantaneous frequency is constant, is a bandwidth efficient constant envelope signalling scheme. A transmitting signal is formed by combined coding of a convolutional encoder and a binary CPFSK modulator. The signal is transmitted throuth additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel. If the received signal is detected by a coherent maximum likelihood(ML) receiver, error probability can be expressed approximately in terms of minimum Euclidean distance. We propose rate 2/4 codes for the improvement of error performance without increating the data rate per bandwidth and the receiver complexity. Its minimum Euclidean distances are compared with those of rate \ulcornercodes as a function of modulation index and observation interval.

Serially concatenated multilevel coded modulation (SCMCM) is proposed in this paper. It is a combined scheme of the outer convolutional code and inner multilevel coded modulation (MCM) which is bandwidth-efficient coded modulation. And the performance of three schemes for decoding of the proposed SCMCM is compared and analyzed. As results of simulations, global iterative decoding with inner and outer code should be performed to improve the error performance as the number of iterations is increased. And the scheme which uses both local iterative multistage decoding in MCM and global iterative decoding with inner and outer code, called Scheme 3 in this paper, shows the best error performance among the three schemes considered in this paper. In addition, performance difference between this scheme and the others is increased as the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is increased. Therefore, Scheme 3 is considered to be the proper decoding scheme of SCMCM.

This paper presents the application of a turbo coding technique combined with a bandwidth efficient method known as trellis-coded modulation. A transformation applied to the incoming I-channel and Q-channel symbols allows the use of an off-the-shelf binary/quadrature phase shift keying (B/QPSK) turbo decoder without any modifications. A conventional turbo decoder then operates on transformed symbols to estimate the coded bits. The uncoded bits are decoded based on the estimated coded bits and locations of the received symbols.

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation(QAM) is well known a bandwidth efficient modulation scheme. However, its use for mobile communications has been limited due to noise and signal distortion. Recently, the QAM scheme is emerging as a new modulation scheme for a band-limited wireless system. In this paper, we propose an iterative decoding algorithm assuming QAM signal for a narrow-band mobile channel. The Algorithm is based on the EM(Expectation Maximization) Algorithm, and the performances of the proposed decoder are assessed using computer simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed decoder perform better compared to that of other schemes.

In this thesis, in order to apply a punctured convolutional codes to the trellis coded modulation(TCM), an efficient punctured trellis coded modulation(PTCM) based on the decomposition of the metric into orthogonal components is presented. Also, a simulation is performed in an additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) and a rician fading channel modeling the mobile satellite channel. The PTCM combines punctured convolutional coding with MPSK modulation to provide a large coding gain in a power-limited or bandwidth-limited channel. However, in general the use of the punctured convolutional code structure in the decoder results in a performance loss in comparison to trellis codes, due to difficulties in assigning metrics. But, the study shows no loss in performance for punctured trellis coded MPSK in comparison to TCM, and what is more, the punctured convolutional codes results in some savings in the complexity of Viterbi decoders, compared to TCM of the same rate. Also, the results shows that the punctured trellis coded .pi./8 shift 8PSK is an attractive scheme for power-limited and band-limited systems and especially, the Viterbi decoder with first and Lth phase difference metrics improves BER performance by the mobile satellite channel.

This paper presents the performance evaluation of an adaptive QAM scheme under flat and frequency selective fading channels for indoor wireless communication systems. The QAM modulation is combined with differential encoding and the demodulation process is carried out noncoherently. The adaptation is performed by varying the modulation level of QAM, depending upon received signal strength. The adaptation mechanism allows a 2- or 3-bit increase or decrease at a time, if the channel condition is considered to be significantly good or bad. Simulation results show that the average number of bits per symbol (ABPS) for each symbol block transmitted over a flat fading channel is higher than 5.0 and the BER performance is better than 10^-4 for a SNR value higher than 30 dB. For frequency selective fading channels, an oversampling technique in the receiver was employed. The BER performance obtained for frequency selective fading channels is better than 10^-4 with a SNR value of 40 dB and ABPS is found to be approximately 5.5. Therefore, this scheme is very useful in that it provides both very high bandwidth efficiency and acceptable performance with moderate SNR values over flat and frequency selective fading channels. In addition, this scheme provides reduced receiver complexity by way of noncoherent detection.

The low power consumption is the most important design factor for the In-Body communication system of WBAN. The conventional PSSK (Phase-Silence-Shift-keying) modulation technique can be regarded as an extension from PSK modulation. And this PSSK has better power efficiency than PSK modulation, and higher spectral efficiency than FSK modulation. PSSK modulation is to transmit two orthogonal symbols. The transmission power can be lowered because the symbol rate in signal period becomes half. BER performance is improved because transmission power is lower and the modulation symbol distance is widened. In addition, PSSK preserve the low-power and increase the data rate than FSK. In this paper, we analyzed existing PSSK and like to propose a new PSPM (Phase-Shift-Position-Modulation) modulation scheme. This PSPM is evaluated in terms of considered bandwidth efficiency and BER performance, compared with the PSSK. This PSPM modulation method transmits the information data by both PSK symbol data and symbol position data, so that we can significantly improve the power efficiency. New proposed PSPM method could be very useful for the In-body communication that requires the most power efficient system.
