Abstract

A channel optimized vector quantizer (COVQ) is studied for the case of transmission over waveform channels. In this work, a number of modulation schemes with multidimensional signal constellations are considered, specifically, results on the binary signalling. M-ary phase-shift keying (MPSK) and M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) performance using COVQ with hard-decision decoding, is optimized for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and flat-fading Rayleigh channel. In addition, when a flat-fading Rayleigh channel is assumed, diversity techniques are used and evaluated to improve the performance of the system
