Abstract

A novel turbo coded modulation scheme, called turbo-APPM, for deep space optical communications is constructed. The constructed turbo-APPM is a serial concatenations of turbo codes, an accumulator and a pulse position modulation (PPM), where turbo codes act as an outer code while the accumulator and the PPM act together as an inner code. The generator polynomial and the puncturing rule for generating turbo codes are chosen to show the low bit error rate. At the receiver, the joint decoding is performed by exchanging soft information iteratively between the inner decoder and the outer decoder. In the outer decoder, a local iterative decoding for turbo codes is conducted before transferring soft information to the inner decoder. Poisson distribution is used to model the deep space optical channel. It is shown by simulations that the constructed turbo-APPM provides coding gains over all previously proposed schemes such as LDPC-APPM, RS-PPM and SCPPM.

본 논문에서는 deep-space 광통신을 위한 터보 부호화 변조 기법을 설계한다. 설계한 기법의 송신 단에서는 터보 부호기와 누적기, 펄스 위치 변조기(PPM)를 연접한 구조를 사용하고, 수신 단에서는 터보 부호 자체의 복호를 위한 반복 복호와 연접 부호 간의 반복 복호를 동시에 사용하는 복호 기법을 제시한다. 광통신 채널로는 이상적인 광자 직접 검파기를 사용하는 경우를 가정하여 Poisson 채널을 사용한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해, 설계한 기법이 기존에 광통신 부호화 변조 기법으로 제시되었던 LDPC-APPM, RS-PPM, SCPPM 등 보다 우월한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있다.
