-It is widely recognised that the choice of a specific bit-to-symbol mapping scheme or a beneficial constellation labelling is an influential factor, when designing bit-interleaved coded modulation using iterative decoding (BICM-ID) for the sake of achieving a high iteration gain. Generally, a larger constellation size of a higher-dimensional space renders the bit-to-symbol mapping design more flexible. In this paper, we first define a flexibility measure based on the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) characteristics of bit-to-symbol mapping schemes. Secondly, we investigate the effect of expanding the constellation to a higher-dimensional space on our proposed EXIT characteristic flexibility index, when transmitting diverse numbers of bits per joint symbol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
