Abstract

The description of the developed algorithm for optimal symbol-by-symbol reception of signal structures based on frequency-efficient signals with two-dimensional «constellations» intensively used in applications and block correction codes in non-binary Galois fields is given. It is shown that symbol-by-symbol reception minimizes the error probability for code symbol or for information bit in contrast to the well-known maximum likelihood rule which minimizes the error-probability for code word. It is proved that the basis of this decoding algorithm is the spectral transform in the Walsh-Hadamard basis and the resulting complexity of the algorithm is determined by the dimension of the dual code which makes it promising for block correction codes with a high code rate (with low redundancy). The study of the error-performance characteristics (probability of erroneous reception for information bit) of the considered symbol-by-symbol reception algorithm was carried out by simulating it for signal structures based on signals with multilevel phase shift keying (PSK-16 signals) and on signals with quadrature amplitude manipulation (QAM-16 signals) and on simple correcting code with a general parity check in non-binary Galois field of size 16. It is shown that the use of the symbol-by-symbol reception algorithm provides an energy gain for the bit error probability from 0.00001 to 1.25…1.5 in relation to the considered signals without coding. As the bit error probability decreases the energy gains increase.
