Hierarchical modulation and spatial modulation schemes under generalized fading propagation environments

Abstract

This thesis deals with designing novel hierarchical modulation (HM) and spatial modulation (SM) schemes to improve the average bit error probability (ABEP) performance of wireless communication systems.In Chapter 1, the current State of the Art considering HM is presented. HM is the most popular representative of superposition coding, hence being incorporated in many IEEE standards. Note that superposition coding aims at providing unequal error protection (UEP) to streams of different priority that are jointly transmitted. Having studied the relevant bibliography, a layered offset hierarchical modulation scheme is proposed that shifts by half a symbol period the high priority (HP) modulated stream as to the low priority (LP) one. The proposed scheme is shown to enhance the HP error performance. Finally, the application of HM in a broadcast scenario is studied aiming at maximizing the average spectral efficiency.Chapter 2 presents the digital signal processors (DSP) test-bed that has be ...
