CHANNEL CODING USING CODES WITH LOW CORRELATION FOR NON-COHERENT RECEIVERS

摘要

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus is configured to encode a signal comprising data bits with a channel code defined by a k x n generator matrix whose elements are defined by minimizing the absolute value of the maximum correlation between the code words generated by the generator matrix, where n is an integer depicting the length of a codeword and k is an integer depicting the number of data bits to be coded using each code word of the code; modulate the encoded signal with a phase- or amplitude-based modulation; and transmit the encoded signal.
