Superposition Coded Modulation Based Faster-Than-Nyquist Signaling

A structure of faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling combined with superposition coded modulation (SCM) is considered. The so-called FTN-SCM structure is able to achieve the constrained capacity of FTN signaling and only requires a low detection complexity. By deriving a new observation model suitable for FTN-SCM, we offer the power allocation based on a proper detection method. Simulation results show that, at any given spectral efficiency, the bit error rate (BER) curve of FTN-SCM lies clearly outside the minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) boundary of orthogonal signaling with a larger alphabet. The achieved data rates are also close to the maximum data rates of the certain shaping pulse.

Bi-orthogonal Symbol Mapping and Detection in Optical CDMA Communication System

In this paper, the bi-orthogonal symbol mapping and detection scheme is investigated in time-spreading wavelength-hopping optical CDMA communication system. The carrier-hopping prime code is exploited as signature sequence, whose put-of-phase autocorrelation is zero. Based on the orthogonality of carrier-hopping prime code, the equal weight orthogonal signaling scheme can be constructed, and the proposed scheme using bi-orthogonal symbol mapping and detection can be developed. The transmitted binary data bits are mapped into corresponding bi-orthogonal symbols, where the orthogonal matrix code and its complement are utilized. In the receiver, the received bi-orthogonal data symbol is fed into the maximum likelihood decoder for detection. Under such symbol mapping and detection, the proposed scheme can greatly enlarge the Euclidean distance; hence, the system performance can be drastically improved.
