Abstract
AbstractFor the narrow band Wireless Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system, there are some channel coding schemes proposed and applied like Turbo code and convolutional codes. But for the 4G Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) wideband systems, we have to use new channel coding schemes with high bandwidth efficiency. In this case, multilevel coding (MLC) scheme is easy to map to Multiple Quardrature Amplitude Modulation (MQAM) modulation strategy to be used for 4G, and MLC+MQAM will be a potential channel coding scheme for the error correcting of next generation of mobile systems.A novel criterion, that is ‘capacity rule’ plus ‘mapping rule’, for the design of the optimum MLC scheme for radio systems over Rayleigh fading channels is proposed in this paper. Based on this theory, a few of key issues related to design an optimum MLC system are investigated. These include a novel optimum design criterion proposed, different mapping strategies, different decoding methods of MLC/MSD and MLC/Parallel Decoding on Levels (PDL) and their performance comparison over Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels respectively.
