Introduction • An 8 point constellation allows >4Gbps in low complexity, single carrier mode • There are many possible choices • Star 8QAM (Current draft) • 8PSK (CID 156) • NS 8QAM (CID 589) • One comment even suggests substituting 16QAM • (CID 448) • This contribution compares these possibilities Michael Mc Laughlin, DecaWave

Summary • Star 8 QAM best theoretical 8 point constellation • 16QAM unusable with Power Amp, Phase Noise • Performs significantly better than 8PSK in • AWGN • Impaired AWGN • LOS with PA,PN • NLOS with PA,PN • Can achieve >4Gbps at EbNo of 17dB with PA+PN • Distance ~10 meters • Reject all 3 comments (CID 156, 589, 448) • Best impaired or unimpaired performance Michael Mc Laughlin, DecaWave
