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.

무선 환경에서는 한정된 주파수 자원과 소비전력을 고려하여 시스템을 설계하여야 한다. 이와 같은 조건을 만족하는 모뎀기술이 Trellis Coded Modulation(TCM) 방식이다. TCM의 복호 알고리즘으로는 확률적인 최적의 경로추적 알고리즘인 Viterbi 복호 알고리즘을 적용한다. 본 논문에서는 오디오 데이타의 무선전송을 위한 무선모뎀시스템의 수신단에 필요한 Viterbi 디코더를 설계하였다. 설계된 Viterbi 디코더는 고음질의 2채널 무선 오디오 신호(705,6kbps) 처리를 목적으로 하였다. 수신된 데이터에 8-level soft decision을 적용하였다. ACS(Add Compare Select)부와 TB(Traceback) 메모리 블럭은 데이터의 고속처리를 위해 병렬로 설계하였고, traceback depth는 50으로 하였다, 시뮬레이션 결과 설계된 Viterbi 디코더는 1bit, 2bit 등 랜덤하게 발생하는 에러에 대해 정정 능력이 우수하였다.

In this paper, the performance of the trellis coded CPFSK with the coherent detection over mobile communication channels is calculated. The characteristics of channels, including phase jitter effects and fading effects, are examined and modeled. The phase jitter channel is modeled to have a nonzero mean and a gaussian distribution. The fading channel has a Rayleigh distribution in the multipath. For the optimal decoding method(MLSE), the Viterbi algorithm is used for the trellis structure of trellis coded CPFSK. The results indicate that the trellis coded CPFSK with a small moulation indes gets more sensitive, as the index gets smaller, to the phase noise under the phase jitter channel. Using the interleaving method. It gives considerable improvements in the error rate under the fading channel.

The maximum likelihood detection with QR decomposition and M-algorithm (QRM-MLD) has been presented as a suboptimum multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection scheme which can provide almost the same performance as the optimum maximum likelihood (ML) MIMO detection scheme but with the reduced complexity. However, due to the lack of parallelism and the regularity in the decoding structure, the conventional QRM-MLD which uses the tree-structure still has very high complexity for the very large scale integration (VLSI) implementation. In this paper, we modify the tree-structure of conventional QRM-MLD into trellis-structure in order to obtain high operational parallelism and regularity and then apply the Viterbi algorithm to the QRM-MLD to ease the burden of the VLSI implementation.We show from our selected numerical examples that, by using the QRM-MLD with our proposed trellis-structure, we can reduce the complexity significantly compared to the tree-structure based QRM-MLD while the performance degradation of our proposed scheme is negligible.

On band limited channel like satellite communication and voice communication. TCM(Trellis Coded Modulation) is a communication method that has coding gain which combines modulation with channel coding without bandwidth expansion. In this paper, we apply PAM, PSK, QAM to TCM, and propose the extended path back method decoding algorithm which improved drawback of viterbi decoding algorithm and apply to TCM this decoding algorithm. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we analyze performance of each modulation technique and efficiency of decoding algorithm.

In this paper, a burst-error-correcting adaptive decoding in TCM(Trellis Coded Modulation) is presented that combines maximun-likelihood decoding with a burst error detection scheme. The decoder usually operates as a Viterbi decoder and switches to a burst-error-correcting mode whenever error patterns uncorrectable by Viterbi decoder are detected. It is demonstrated that TCM using adaptive decoding method outperforms a traditional TCM on the multi-path fading channels that are busty in nature, which are like the channel environments of mobile communications.

In this paper, Forward Error Correction(FEC) that is satisfied with ITU-T Recommendation J.83, Annex B(North American Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications(DOCSIS) for Multimedia Cable Network System(MCNS)) is analyzed. The FEC consist of Reed-Solomon(RS) layer, interleaving layer, randomization layer, and trellis coded modulation(TCM) layer. The effects of quantization of input symbol and of trace-back depth in the Viterbi decoder are simulated over AWGN channels.

PCM/FM with a modulation index of 0.7 is widely used in the telemetry field. If the modulation index is slightly changed to 2/3, it can be interpreted as 3-PSK with a state number of 3 in phase transition trellis and can be received with a simple Viterbi decoder. As a result of computer simulation, the Eb/No performance in the AWGN channel is about 8.3 dB when the BER is 10^-5, which is close to the theoretical limit.

This paper introduces an efficient iterative decoding method for high-dimensional block turbo codes. To improve the decoding performance, we modified the soft decision Viterbi decoding algorithm, which is a trellis-based method. The iteration number can be significantly reduced in the soft output decoding process by applying multiple usage of extrinsic reliability information from all available axes and appropriately normalizing them. Our simulation results reveal that the proposed decoding process needs only about 30% of the iterations required to obtain the same performance with the conventional method at a bit error rate range of $10^{-5}\;to\;10^{-6}$.

This paper describes an implementation of radix-4 trellis parallel architecture and backward state transition control trace back Viterbi decoder, and presents the application results to high speed wireless LAN. The radix-4 parallelized architecture Vietrbi decoder can not only improve the throughput with simple structure, but also have small processing delay time and overhead circuit compared to M-step trellis architecture one. Based on these features, this paper addresses a novel Viterbi decoder which is composed of branch metric computation, architecture of ACS and trace back decoding by sequential control of backward state transition for the implementation of radix-4 trellis parallelized structure. With the proposed architecture, the decoding of variable code rate due to puncturing the base code can easily be implemented by the unified Viterbi decoder. Moreover, any additional circuit and/or peripheral control logic are not required in the proposed decoder architecture. The trace back decoding scheme with backward state transition control can carry out the sequential decoding according to ACS cycle clock without additional circuit for survivor memory control. In order to evaluate the usefulness, the proposed method is applied to channel CODEC of the IEEE 802.11a high speed wireless LAN, and HDL coding simulation results are presented.
