Summary :

Bit-interleaving can enhance performance of a trellis coded modulation system over a fading channel. A combined system with decision feedback equalization is proposed. In the system, TCM decoded symbols are fed back for equalization. To avoid a bad effect of decoding delay, a deinterleaver is utilized effectively. Information sequence is divided into three subsequences and encoded by three encoders. Among the 3 code vectors from the encoders, bits are interleaved and decoding proceeds in parallel. Simulation results show that the proposed system realizes 0.6 dB more coding gain than a symbol interleaved system. A calculation method of a branch metric for decoding is proposed. Performance with the branch metric is shown to be nearly independent from the desired/undesired power ratio of a intersymbol interference channel. An approximate upper bound is analyzed for the proposed system, and the optimum code is searched.
