Abstract

The performance of 8-PSK, 16-PSK and 32-PSK TCM are examined in theadditive white gaussian noise (AWGN), Rician fading and Rayleigh fadingchannels. The TCM is implemented using the ’’Pragmatic Approach‘‘ to TCMbased on the common rate ½, constraint length 7,64-state convolutional code. The analytic performance model has beenenhanced to account for the unencoded bit(s) resulting from implementationof TCM using the ’’Pragmatic Approach‘‘. Averaging of the Euclidean errorweight profiles is also employed. The results provide an improved upperbound on published data from simulations and measurements. The results arethen employed to facilitate the evaluation of a concatenated Reed-Solomon(RS) MPSK TCM code, as well as, TCM with diversity in the form of symbolrepetition.
