Abstract | A novel simple receiver structure for M-ary differential phase shift keying (MDPSK) transmission over flat Rayleigh fading channels without channel state information is proposed. Convolutional codes are used for error correction and bit-interleaving as an appropriate means to combat the effects of fading, and the hard decisions of the Viterbi algorithm are fed back during the decoding process in order to improve the calculated bit metric. Iterative decoding with this decision-feedback differential demodulation, (DF-DM) results in significant power efficiency gains compared to those achieved using conventional differential demodulation, while the computational complexity remains low |
