Abstract
In this paper, we propose a 32-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation to achieve high spectral efficiency, along with dual-level coding (DLC) and successive cancellation decoding (SCD). The proposed odd-bit 32-QAM constellation is designed by duplicating 16-QAM and scaling and is referred to as duplicate-and-scale QAM (DaSQAM). Analysis of bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) capacity demonstrates that the DaSQAM with the DLC and the SCD is better than other conventional QAMs. When using low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, the DaSQAM shows enhanced performance in terms of bit error rate (BER) and block error rate (BLER) over the conventional QAMs.
