Abstract

This paper presents a family of concatenated two-state trellis-coded modulation (CT-TCM) schemes. Compared with the existing turbo-type bandwidth-efficient coded modulation schemes, the proposed codes have significantly reduced complexity without sacrificing performance. A joint design strategy for all component codes is established. This leads to so-called asymmetrical and time-varying trellis structures, which possess good Hamming and Euclidean distance distributions. The performance of the proposed codes is demonstrated by simulation results.
