Questions Concerning the PBCC-22 Proposal for High Rate 802.11b Christopher Hansen Broadcom Christopher Hansen, Broadcom
Outline • Introduction • What does the cover code do? • Simulation of the 22 Mbps system with and without the cover code • Is the PBCC-22 code the best choice? • Compare with published codes • Conclusions Christopher Hansen, Broadcom
What does the cover code do? • Simulated System Random Bits 256 State Encoder and Mapper 2 Channel Model Fractionally Spaced Equalizer Cover Code AWGN Measure Bit Errors Viterbi Decoder Remove Cover Code Christopher Hansen, Broadcom

Is the PBCC-22 Code the best choice? • PBCC-22 Code • 256 State, Rate 2/3, 8-PSK constellation • Dfree^2/Es = 8.6 dB • Ungerboeck Code • IEEE Communications Magazine, Feb. 1987 • 256 State, Rate 2/3, 8-PSK constellation • Dfree^2/Es = 8.75 dB Christopher Hansen, Broadcom
Is the PBCC-22 Code the best choice? • Higher Dfree will yield lower bit and frame error rates for a given SNR • Many published trellis codes available • Significant coding gain is possible with low levels of complexity • For Example: Ungerboeck 64 state code with Dfree^2/Es = 8.01 dB Christopher Hansen, Broadcom
Conclusions • PBCC-22 cover code does not appear to provide any performance gain • PBCC-22 trellis code is not necessarily the best for high rate 802.11b • Given the proposal of a new code for high rate 802.11b, the PBCC-22 authors should present more information to justify their design choice.
