Simulation results for permutation Trellis codes using M-ary FSK

Abstract

It has previously been shown that using the combination of permutation codes and M-ary frequency shift keying has special properties and error correcting capabilities that are suitable for the noise types encountered in power line communications. Furthermore, the permutation codes are used to map onto the outputs of a binary convolutional code to form permutation trellis codes. We investigate and compare the performance of different permutation trellis codes when used with M-FSK for power line communications.
