Abstract :
A new analytical bound for large effective code length codes (ECL) is derived. The accuracy of the analytical bounds is validated by simulation. Based on the new bound a trellis code design procedure for fading channels is defined. A quasi-analytical technique for BER estimation on nonlinear channels is proposed. This method is used to estimate the performance degradation of nonlinear communication systems with the pilot tone.<>
