The performance of bandwidth-efficient RS-coded multilevel DPSK schemes on a mobile fading channel

Abstract

The performance of bandwidth-efficient Reed-Solomon (RS)-coded multilevel differential phase shift keying (MDPSK) schemes is evaluated on a shadowed Rician fading channel. The error bounds are derived for RS-coded MDPSK schemes for the case of ideally interleaved slow-fading channels. The effects of fading bandwidth and imperfect interleaving on the performance of these coded-modulation schemes are studied by computer simulations.<>
