High-SNR Asymptotics of Mutual Information for Discrete Constellations with Applications to BICM
Alex Alvarado, Fredrik Brannstrom, Erik Agrell +1
Asymptotic expressions of the mutual information between any discrete input and the corresponding output of the scalar additive white Gaussian noise channel are presented in the li…
General BER Expression for One-Dimensional Constellations
Mikhail Ivanov, Fredrik Brännström, Alex Alvarado +1
A novel general ready-to-use bit-error rate (BER) expression for one-dimensional constellations is developed. The BER analysis is performed for bit patterns that form a labeling. T…
On Optimal TCM Encoders
Alex Alvarado, Alexandre Graell i Amat, Fredrik Brannstrom +1
An asymptotically optimal trellis-coded modulation (TCM) encoder requires the joint design of the encoder and the binary labeling of the constellation. Since analytical approaches…
Design of APSK Constellations for Coherent Optical Channels with Nonlinear Phase Noise
Christian Häger, Alexandre Graell i Amat, Alex Alvarado +1
We study the design of amplitude phase-shift keying (APSK) constellations for a coherent fiber-optical communication system where nonlinear phase noise (NLPN) is the main system im…
Conditions for a Monotonic Channel Capacity
Erik Agrell
Motivated by results in optical communications, where the performance can degrade dramatically if the transmit power is sufficiently increased, the channel capacity is characterize…
On the Exact BER of Bit-Wise Demodulators for One-Dimensional Constellations
Mikhail Ivanov, Fredrik Brannstrom, Alex Alvarado +1
The optimal bit-wise demodulator for M-ary pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) over the additive white Gaussian noise channel is analyzed in terms of uncoded bit-error rate (BER). New…
