The bit error probability of RS/trellis concatenated coded-modualtion system in the mobile radio channel is analyzed. A new upper bound to the symbol error probability of the inner TCM in the mobile radio channel is obtained by exploiting the unequal symbol error probability of the TCM. This bound is applied to the derivation of the upper bound to the bit error probability of the concatenated coded-modulation system. An efficient way of searching distance spectrum of the TCM in mobile radio channel is devised. Our new bounds are tighter than the earlier studied other bounds.

In this paper, a burst-error-correcting adaptive decoding in TCM(Trellis Coded Modulation) is presented that combines maximun-likelihood decoding with a burst error detection scheme. The decoder usually operates as a Viterbi decoder and switches to a burst-error-correcting mode whenever error patterns uncorrectable by Viterbi decoder are detected. It is demonstrated that TCM using adaptive decoding method outperforms a traditional TCM on the multi-path fading channels that are busty in nature, which are like the channel environments of mobile communications.

In this paper. for $\pi$/4 and $\pi$/8 PSK. we proposed to condition to obtain coding gain increasing states, by design encoder of analytical method with minimal complexity in limited bandwidth and power channels. In order to improve the bit error rate(BER), comparing Ungerboeck designed the TCM. we propose MTCM(Multiple trellis-coded modulation) with multiplicity(k＝2), by optimum encoder design. By design encoder of analytical method. the trellis encoder can be minimal complexity and the decoder be used Viterbi decoder(MLSE). When compared to the TCM and MTCM with AWGN channels. the condition of performance enhancement of the MTCM with multiplicity(k＝2) is the case of parallel transition in TCM systems. without alternating data transmission rate in bandwidth and power limited channels.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of the direct sequence/spread spectrum multiple access (DS/SSMA) system using the Trellis coded modulation (TCM) technique in both multipath fading and multi-user channel environments. For this, an expression that represents the pairwise bit error probability of the system is derived. Unlike the existing results that were performed in a more restrictive condition considering only the multi-user effect, the effects of the multipath fading as well as the multi-user environments are compositely taken into account. In order to check the validity of our analysis, although not direct, computer simulations are carried out, and they show that our expression matches exactly with the previous work for which the TCM and the multipath effects were disregarded. Moreover, it is observed that the performance of the Trellis coded DS/SSMA system can be improved dramatically comparing to the uncoded QPSK system in the multipath fading and multi-user channel environments.

In this paper, in order to apply the $\pi/4$ shift QPSK to TCM, we propose the $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK modulation technique and the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK performing signal set expansion and partition by phase difference. In addition, the Viterbi decoder with branch metrics of the squared Euclidean distance of the first phase difference as well as the Lth phase different is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate(BER) performance in differential detection of the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK. The proposed Viterbi decoder is conceptually the same as the sliding multiple detection by using the branch metric with first and Lth order phase difference. We investigate the performance of the uncoded $\pi/4$ shift QPSK and the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK with or without the Lth phase difference metric in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) using the Monte Carlo simulation. The study shows that the $\pi/4$ shift QPSK with the Trellis-code i.e. the trellis-coded $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK is an attractive scheme for power and bandlimited systems and especially, the Viterbi decoder with first and Lth phase difference metrics improves BER performance. Also, the nest proposed algorithm can be used in the TC $\pi/8$ shift 8PSK as well as TCMDPSK.

In this paper, we propose a bandwidth-efficient channel coding scheme using the turbo trellis-coded modulation with multiple symbol detection. The turbo code can achieve good bit error rates (BER) at low SNR. That comprises two binary component codes and an interleaver. TCM codes combine modulation and coding by optimizing the euclidean distance between codewords. This can be decoded with the Viterbi or the symbol-by- symbol MAP algorithm. But we present the MAP algorithm with branch metrics of the Euclidean distance of the first phase difference as well as the Lth phase difference. The study shows that the turbo trellis-coded modulation with multiple symbol detection can improve the BER performance at the same SNR.

In this paper, we propose the TCM(Trellis coded modulation) decoding scheme that reduces the number of operations in branch metric with STBC(space time block codes) channel information and present the implementation results. The proposed TCM decoding scheme needs only 1 signal point in each TCM subset. Using bias point scheme, It detects the minimum distance symbol. The proposed TCM decoding scheme can reduce the branch metric calculations. In case of 16QAM 8 subset, the reduction ratio is about 50％ and for 64QAM 8 subset, about 80％ reduction can be obtained. The results of logic synthesis for the TCM and STBC decoder with the proposed scheme are 57.6K gate count.

In this paper, an optimum TCM(trellis coded modulation)combined with CPM(continuous phase modulation) signal is investigated, and the performances are evaluated on the two-ray fading channel, which is one of the well-known frequency-selected because of their relatively good power and spectrum efficiency, and the modulation index is varied from 0.1 to 0.6. The performance is evaluated for each modulation index. The constraint length of the encoder, which is comprised in TCM, is chosen to be 2 and 3. From the performance evaluations, when the constraint length is 3 and modulation index 0.5, a power gain if the optimum TCM over the scheme without coding is observed to be 2.0dB for 1REC and 2.1dB for 3RC, respectively, on the fading channel. Thus, a significant improvement on the line quality is expected when the optimum TCM presented in this paper is employed in digital mobile radio applications.

In this paper, we present symbol detection methods for decision feedback equalizers (DFE) in trellis coded modulation systems. The proposed symbol detectors improve symbol error rate (SER) by exploiting the coding structure of trellis coded modulation (TCM). For example, for 8-PAM signals the achieved SER with the proposed detection scheme is improved to $2{\times}10^{-5}$ from $2.5{\times}10^{-2}$ of the conventional symbol-by-symbol detector under AWGN channel at 20dB SNR. This SER improvements mitigate error propagation of DFE.and produces significant over-all SER improvement for under multipath channels (for example, from 0.26 to 0.01 and 0.005 under a severe multipath channel 20dB SNR as shown in the simulation result of this paper).

This paper describes TCM(trellis coded modulation) schemes using 32VSB signal for digital CATV system. First we design optimum encoder with code rate 4/5 for 32VSB by using one dimenstional signal constellation and obtain 0.75-4.38 dB coding gains over the existing uncoded 16VSB. Second by using two dimensional signal constellation we design TCM encoders with code rate 9/10, which are better in the power efficienty (0.5-2.27 dB) and the transmission rate(12.5%), and we also design TCM encoders which have more coding gains than one dimensional TCM encoders for the larger number of states(more than 8 states).
