Abstract
In this paper, a novel coded modulation scheme named Trellis-Coded Differential Chaotic Modulation (TC-DCM) is proposed, which combines trellis codes with M-ary Differential Chaotic Shift Keying (M-DCSK). The new scheme not only reduces the multipath interference efficiently due to its inherent spreading property, but also avoids the use of Channel State Information (CSI), exact synchronization, despreading and the Rake receiver, making the corresponding receiver design simpler and more suitable for band-limited communication systems under severe multipath propagation conditions. Analytical Bit-Error-Rate (BER) bounds are derived and verified over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels. Both analytical performances and simulation results show that the proposed scheme with different states and different coding rates can obtain significant coding gains, compared to the corresponding uncoded schemes with the same bandwidth over AWGN channels. In addition, it is found from simulations that over multipath Rayleigh fading channels without CSI, the proposed TC-DCM system outperforms the Trellis-Coded Modulation Direct-Sequence Spread-Spectrum (TCM DS/SS) system with the same bandwidth efficiency.
