Advanced continuous phase modulation for high mobility communications

Journal article, 2014

This paper focuses on the design of continuous phase-modulated systems and simplified receiver for high-mobility wireless communications. A class of spectrally efficient coded modulation systems is proposed and analyzed in terms of Euclidean distance and spectral efficiency. Moreover, the simplified detector based on mismatched receiver is designed to reduce the detection complexity exponentially for partial response systems. To deal with the fast time-varying channels without channel state information, a class of noncoherent detection algorithms for continuous phase modulation systems is developed to offer near-coherent performance. The proposed system is assessed over both the additive white Gaussian noise and fast-fading channels. Numerical and simulated results show that the proposed system offers not only high spectral efficiency but also near-optimum performance over fast time-varying scenarios.
