Abstract

A multi-tone QAM modulation technique suitable for discrete multi-tone (DMT) systems based on the combination of the so called turbo codes and trellis code modulation (TCM) is presented. The advantage of this system is its high coding gain together with the bandwidth efficiency which is suitable for asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) modems for twisted pair wires. Some suggestion is given to combat burst noise, frequency selective noise, or interference in the design of the turbo code. The results are compared to the recommended 16 state 4-dimensional Wei code in the ANSI standard. Simulation results demonstrate substantial coding gain for all QAM modulation levels from 4 QAM to 256 QAM
