Recently, STC techniques have been considered to be candidate to support multimedia services in the next generation mobile radio communications and have been developed the many communications systems in order to achieve the high data rates. In this paper, we propose the Trellis-Coded Differential Space Time Modulation system with multiple symbol detection. The Trellis-code performs the set partition with unitary group codes. The Viterbi decoder containing new branch metrics is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate (BER) in the differential detection of the unitary differential space time modulation. Also, we describe the Viterbi algorithm in order to use this branch metrics. Our study shows that such a Viterbi decoder improves BER performance without sacrificing bandwidth and power efficiency.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of the direct sequence/spread spectrum multiple access (DS/SSMA) system using the Trellis coded modulation (TCM) technique in both multipath fading and multi-user channel environments. For this, an expression that represents the pairwise bit error probability of the system is derived. Unlike the existing results that were performed in a more restrictive condition considering only the multi-user effect, the effects of the multipath fading as well as the multi-user environments are compositely taken into account. In order to check the validity of our analysis, although not direct, computer simulations are carried out, and they show that our expression matches exactly with the previous work for which the TCM and the multipath effects were disregarded. Moreover, it is observed that the performance of the Trellis coded DS/SSMA system can be improved dramatically comparing to the uncoded QPSK system in the multipath fading and multi-user channel environments.

In this paper, we have analyzed the packet error probability of DS/CDMA-Trellis Coded QPSK modulation signal with MRC(Maximum Ratio Combining) diversity reception in Rician fading, multi-user interferences and multipath channel. And then we have evaluated the performance and capacity of DS/CDMA-Trellis Coded QPSK system using the MRC diversity reception as a function of direct power to indirect power ratio ($K_R$), the number of diversity branch(M), the number of multi-user(U), PN chip rate(PN), the number of multipath channel($L_P$), and packet length(PL). From the results, we know that the coding gain of DS/CDMA-Trellis Coded QPSK system with 2 branch MRC diversity is about 6 dB against uncoded DS/CDMA BPSK system with 2 branch MRC diversity in Rician fading ($K_R=6dB), 5 multi-user interferences, and 3 multipath channel. And, we know that coded QPSK signal designed for the AWGN channel also perform well on a Rician fading channel with MRC diversity reception. Consequently, we expected that proposed system structure is reliable to the wireless data communication system in Rician fading, multi-user interferences, and multipath channel.

In this paper, system performance of turbo trellis coded modulation (turbo TCM) is presented and analyzed through computer simulations over two typical channels, namely additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels. We use and compare different mapping strategies based on Ungerboeck partitioning (UP), block partitioning (BP), mixed partitioning (MP), Gray partitioning (GP), and Ungerboeck-Gray partitioning (UGP) of the signal constellation of the turbo TCM system. Furthermore, taking 8PSK modulation of turbo TCM as an example, our simulation results show that turbo TCM with UP can obtain better performance than turbo TCM with BP, MP, GP, and UGP in both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels.

We present a family of constant-amplitude constellations of even dimensions 8 and above. These constellations allow trellis coded modulation to be implemented without the usual penalty paid for constellation expansion. The new constellations are generated by concatenating either n QPSK points or n QPSK points rotated by 45 degrees, for any n $\geq$ 4. Our constellations double the number of points available for transmission without decreasing the distance between points and without increasing the average or peak energies, introducing asymmetry, or increasing the modulation level. Effective gains of 2.65 dB with minimum complexity through 6.42 dB with moderate complexity are demonstrated using the 8D constellation.

In this paper, the Viterbi decoder containing new branch metrics of the squared Euclidean distance with multiple order phase differences is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate (BER) in the differential detection of the trellis-coded MDPSK-DFDM. The proposed Viterbi decoder is conceptually same as the sliding multiple phase differential detection method that uses the branch metric with multiple phase differences. Also, we describe the Viterbi algorithm in order to use this branch metrics. Our study shows that such a Viterbi decoder improves BER peformance without sacrificing bandwidth and power efficiency. Also, the proposed algorithm can be used in the single carrier modulation.

In this paper, performance comparisions of MTCM systems with 8DPSK over mobile communication channels are obtained by computer simulation. The multiple symbol differential detection scheme is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate performance in the detection of the trellis-coded 8DPSK system. Rician fading channels are used as test channels. The simula- tion results show that the trellis-coded 8DPSK system with multiple symbol detection gives better performance than that of the uncoded DQPSK system. And symbol by symbol interleaving method gives better performance than the symbol pair interleaving method.

The 16- and 32-state Trellis-coded M-ary 4-dimensional (4-D) orthogonal modulation scheme with a frequency-reuse technique have been investigated. Here, 5 coded bits form a rate 4/5 convolutional encoder provide 32 possible symbols. Then the signals are mapped by a M-ary 4-D orthogonal modulator, where each signal has equal energy and is PSK modulated. In the M-ary 4-D modulator, we have employed the vectors which is derived by the optimization technique of signal waveforms in a 4-D sphere. This technique is usedin maximizing the minimum Euclidean distance between a set of signal poits on a multidimensional sphere. By combinig trellis coding with M-ary 4-D modulation and proper set-partitioning, we have obtained a considerable impeovement in the free minimum distance of the system over an AWGN channel. The 16-state scheme obtains coding gains up to 5.5 dB over the uncoded two-independent QPSK scheme and 2.5 dB over the two-independent 2-D TCM scheme. And, the 32-state scheme obtains coding gains up to 6.4 dB over the uncoded two-independent QPSK schemeand 3.4 dB over the two-independent 2-D TCM scheme.
