FPGA implementation of multiplierless M-QAM modulator

Adaptive multilevel QAM (M-QAM) modulation can increase throughput in a wireless packet data network. A technique is discussed for efficiently realising M-QAM modulators on field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) using 'multiplierless' finite impulse response (FIR) filters with carry-save addition and canonic signed-digit coefficients. An adaptive M-QAM modulator supporting 4, 16, 64 and 256-QAM is presented     

Effect of Channel Estimation Errors on M -QAM With MRC and EGC in Nakagami Fading Channels

We study the effect of imperfect channel estimation (ICE) on the error probability performance of M-level quadrature amplitude modulation ( M-QAM) with maximal-ratio combining and equal-gain combining diversity formats in Nakagami fading channels. We provide a novel formulation of the bit-error rate (BER) of M-QAM with ICE in terms of the signal constellation-dependent effective signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) or amplitudes, which allows us to derive the general, accurate, and easy-to-evaluate BER formulas for square and rectangular diversity M-QAM with channel estimation errors. Our result shows that the performance loss caused by ICE may be manifested by the signal decision space distortion and a scaling of the effective SNR. Using our analytical result, we evaluate the performance of M-QAM with pilot-symbol assisted modulation and present some insightful findings     

Adaptive SR-ARQ combined with STBC in Markov channels

Effect of channel estimation error on M-QAM BER performance inRayleigh fading

We determine the bit-error rate (BER) of multilevel quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) in flat Rayleigh fading with imperfect channel estimates, Despite its high spectral efficiency, M-QAM is not commonly used over fading channels because of the channel amplitude and phase variation. Since the decision regions of the demodulator depend on the channel fading, estimation error of the channel variation can severely degrade the demodulator performance. Among the various fading estimation techniques, pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) proves to be an effective choice. We first characterize the distribution of the amplitude and phase estimates using PSAM. We then use this distribution to obtain the BER of M-QAM as a function of the PSAM and channel parameters. By using a change of variables, our exact BER expression has a particularly simple form that involves just a few finite-range integrals. This approach can be used to compute the BER for any value of M. We compute the BER for 16-QAM and 64-QAM numerically and verify our analytical results by computer simulation. We show that for these modulations, amplitude estimation error leads to a 1-dB degradation in average signal-to-noise ratio and combined amplitude-phase estimation error leads to 2.5-dB degradation for the parameters we consider     

Effect of channel-estimation error on QAM systems with antenna diversity

This paper studies the effect of channel estimation error and antenna diversity on multilevel quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) systems over Rayleigh fading channels. Based on the characteristic function method, a general closed-form bit-error rate (BER) for M-QAM systems is presented. The effect of the inaccurate channel estimation on the performance for pilot-symbol-assisted modulation M-QAM systems with antenna diversity is investigated. Simulation results for M-QAM (M = 4, 16, 64, 256, etc.) show that the analytical method can accurately estimate the system performance. Moreover, numerical results show that with the antenna-diversity technique, the BER performance improves significantly, especially in perfect channel-estimation cases. It is also found that the channel-estimation error limits the benefit of antenna diversity. By increasing the length of the channel estimator and the amplitude of the pilot symbol, more accurate channel estimation can be achieved, so that the BER performance is improved.     

Effects of clipping-induced impulse noise in externally modulatedmultichannel AM/M-QAM video transmission systems

The effect of clipping-induced impulse noise in externally modulated multichannel AM/M-QAM video transmission systems is investigated. It is shown that the bit-error-rate of the M-QAM signals in the symmetric double-clipping events is, to the first order approximation, twice the single clipping events under the same conditions. The results are in good agreement with the experimental data for both 1319-nm and 1550-nm externally modulated laser transmitter-based systems     

Exact BER for M-QAM with MRC and Imperfect Channel Estimation in Rician Fading Channels

In this paper, we study the effect of imperfect channel estimation (ICE) on the performance of M-level quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) with maximum ratio combining (MRC) and pilot-symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) in generalized Rician fading channels. By expressing the bit error rate (BER) of MRC diversity M-QAM in terms of the distribution of new decision variables, we derive novel, exact, and easy-to-evaluate BER expressions for diversity M-QAM with channel estimation errors. Our results include versatile system and fading channel parameters (e.g., arbitrary spatial and temporal correlation patterns among the diversity branches), and are valid for arbitrary linear channel estimators and square and rectangular M -QAM with different constellation sizes. In addition, we evaluate the performance of minimum mean-squared error (MMSE)- and sinc-interpolator-based channel estimators with PSAM, and provide some new insights into the performance of M-QAM with PSAM in generalized fading channels
