ecently there has been excitement in the image processing and communication fields about dirty-paper coding. This name comes from "Writing on Dirty Paper," the title of a 1983 paper by Max Costa [1] on the capacity of a Gaussian channel having interference that is known to the transmitter y s i w = + + (1)
The fading channel is a significant problem in many communications environments. In this paper, we examine the performance of unitary space-time modulation in a time-varying channel. We use a Gauss-Markov model of the continuously varying channel to characterize performance of differential and trained modulation. We find a performance ceiling at high SNR where the effect of the changing channel dominates. We show that while trained modulation provides an advantage at low SNR, above a certain SNR differential modulation gives better performance. We conclude with simulation results that support our analysis.
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.
