Abstract
In this letter, we present a polar-coded scheme tailored to enhance transmission reliability in generalized carrier index differential chaos shift keying (GCI-DCSK) systems. Considering the reliability difference between the index and modulated layers in GCI-DCSK, we develop a dual-level polar-coded modulation (DLC-PCM) scheme that provides unequal error protection (UEP). Furthermore, to better manage the reliability differences among index bits in the GCI-DCSK system, we propose a dual-level bit-interleaved polar-coded modulation (DLC-BIPCM) scheme by incorporating a bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) structure within the index layer. Additionally, we derive log-likelihood ratio (LLR) expressions and calculate the capacities of both the index and modulated layers to strategically guide the design of the DLC-PCM scheme. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed polar-coded approach achieves superior bit error rate (BER) performance and lower complexity compared to existing low-density parity-check (LDPC)-based schemes.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
