Abstract

The paper addresses the analysis of multidimensional trellis-coded M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) modulation over a Rice-lognormal fading channel model, applicable to a variety of environments and to both terrestrial and satellite mobile communications. Bounds to the bit error probability are derived and applied to the analysis of a few selected trellis-coded modulation (TCM) schemes. The results, confirmed by simulation, show that on the Rice channel there exists a threshold in bit energy-to-noise density ratio above which the effective code length is the dominant parameter, while the free distance is dominating below. However, the influence of both parameters is mitigated when shadowing is present
