Abstract

The frequency bands used by secondary user systems such as cognitive radio and ultra-wideband (UWB) systems are subject to various forms of non-Gaussian noise and interference including co-channel and narrowband interference caused by the primary user and other secondary users as well as man-made impulsive noise. For secondary user systems employing popular bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) we propose a robust Lp-norm metric for Viterbi decoding to overcome the harmful effects of non-Gaussian noise and interference. For the resulting system, we derive an approximate upper bound on the bit error rate (BER) and a general analytical expression for the asymptotic BER valid for all practically relevant types of fading, including Rayleigh, Ricean, Nakagami-m, Nakagami-q , and Weibull fading, and all types of noise and interference with finite moments. Simulation and analytical results show that, in non-Gaussian noise and interference, the proposed Lp-norm metric yields large performance gains over the conventional L2- norm metric and outperforms erasure decoding.
