BLOCK CODES FOR THE 2**N -PSK CHANNEL.

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

Summary form only given. In 1977 it was described how n binary block codes can be combined to construct block codes for the 2**n -PSK channel. Using this technique it is quite easy to construct block codes for this channel with very high asymptotic coding gains. The result seems to have theoretical value, because good soft decision decoding algorithms seldom exist for these codes. For the 8-PSK channel it is shown how three nearly trivial, binary linear codes together form a block code, that has a very simple maximum-likelihood decoding algorithm. Its performance and complexity are comparable with Ungerboeck's v equals 2 convolutional code.
