Motivation • Objective: • The objective is to design methods for communicating over a noncoherent (random phase) channel at low Eb/No. • M-ary Noncoherent FSK • Coherent reception not always possible: • Rapid relative motion between transmitter and receiver. • Phase noise in local oscillators. • A natural choice is noncoherent FSK. • M-ary FSK allows bandwidth efficiency to be traded for energy efficiency. • Questions: • What is the information theoretic limit of M-ary NFSK? • How can we approach that limit in practice?

M-FSK: Noncoherent Channel LLR • To determine the LLR of bit k, 1 k log2M • Let Sk(1) be the set of symbol indices for which the kth bit is a one, and Sk(0) the set of symbols indices for which the kth bit is a zero. • Assume that the bits other than k are equally likely to be 0 or 1. • Then: • For BFSK this becomes:

Noncoherent M-FSKUsing A Priori Probabilities • Earlier we assumed that all modulated symbols were equally likely and obtained the bit LLR: • However, we can use the bit probabilities derived from the decoder to improve the bit LLRs:
Computing the A Priori Probabilities • We want to find p(si|ck’) by using the extrinsic bit information from the decoder. • Let pj be the decoder’s estimate that the probability of the jth bit is a one: • Then if si [b1i b2i … bmi]
Simplified Expression • The LLR can also be expressed as: • Where:

Conclusions • Feeding back from decoder to demod can improve the performance of noncoherent M-FSK. • For M=16 and r=1/2 coding, the improvement is 0.65 dB in AWGN. • Other possible benefits • Reduce number of iterations from 16 to 4 • Reduce signal constellation size from 64 to 16 • The additional complexity is negligible • No extra iterations needed. • Only need to update demod metrics during each iteration • Need to perform channel interleaving/deinterleaving during each iteration.
Ongoing and Future Work • Try to close gap further • Optimize interleaver design. • Consider symbol-interleaving and nonbinary codes. • More iterations. • Fading • With and without amplitude estimates (CSI). • Ergodic vs. block fading. • Other applications • Cooperative diversity systems for sensor networks. • Performance in FH systems with partial band jamming.
