Potential of Non-Uniform Constellations for Peak Power Constraint in SC Modulation

This document discusses the potential of non-uniform constellations (NUCs) for single carrier (SC) modulation, focusing on the design of NUCs with 64 signal points to maximize coding gain while adhering to peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) constraints. NUCs show a significant overall gain of up to 1.7 dB compared to uniform constellations (UCs). Various factors such as improved robustness against phase noise, reduced PAPR, and coding gain are highlighted, making NUCs a promising option for enhancing performance in SC modulation scenarios.

2. July 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0835r0 Abstract This contribution outlines the potential of non-uniform constellations (NUCs) for single carrier (SC) modulation NUCs with 64 signal points are considered The NUCs are designed for maximum coding gain at a given constraint on the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) Several PAPR constraint categories are investigated The NUCs are shown to have significant overall gain of up to 1.7 dB compared to rect. uniform constellations (UCs) Submission Slide 2 Thomas Handte, Sony

3. July 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0835r0 Motivation Higher order QAMs discussed in e.g. [1]-[4] as potential technology for 802.11ay OFDM: 128-QAM, 256-QAM (up to 64-QAM in ad) SC: 64-QAM (up to 16-QAM in ad) Non-uniform constellations performance compared to uniform constellations (UCs) NUCs provide Coding gain up to 0.7dB for 256-QAM (OFDM) [3] Improved robustness against phase noise [4] Reduced PAPR and (small) coding gain APSK for 64-QAM (SC) [5] A moderate increase in demapper complexity [3-5] 2D NUCs feature quadrant symmetry (NUCs) provide increased Submission Slide 3 Thomas Handte, Sony

4. July 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0835r0 Introduction NUCs presented in [3,4] have originally been designed for OFDM Nonetheless, those NUCs feature gains in SC too Compared to UCs, those NUCs feature A coding gain of up to 0.4 dB [3] An additional gain of 0.1 dB in presence of phase noise [4] i.e. 0.5 dB in total A even higher gain can be achieved with a phase noise aware demapper However, optimization for PAPR has not been performed In this contribution, we outline the potential of NUCs which have been optimized with various PAPR constraints Those NUCs are in particular applicable for SC modulation Submission Slide 4 Thomas Handte, Sony

5. July 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0835r0 Coding Gain of NUCs NUCs feature a coding gain UCs not optimal in the sense of channel capacity, results in a SNR gap NUCs can partly exploit this gap with a small complexity increase Example: rect. 64-UC and 64-NUC of [3,4] for CR=1/2 ~ 0.5dB gain Small gap remains mainly due to discrete signal pts. Submission Slide 5 Thomas Handte, Sony

6. July 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0835r0 PAPR requirements OFDM vs. SC OFDM PAPR of the constellation unimportant since the OFDM modulator determines the envelope of the transmit signal NUCs of [3,4] have been designed for maximum coding gain SC PAPR of the constellation directly influences the envelope of the transmit signal NUCs for SC modulation require PAPR consideration However, coding gain and PAPR not independent Large coding gain means large PAPR and vice versa Submission Slide 6 Thomas Handte, Sony
