Title
Enhanced Nonuniform Constellations for High-Capacity Communications With Low-Complexity Demappers
Abstract
Non-uniform constellations (NUCs) successfully utilize geometrical shaping to approach the Shannon capacity, but increase demapping complexity. In this paper, enhanced non-uniform constellations for low-complexity and high-capacity communications are investigated and addressed in two steps: low-complexity demappers for fixed constellations and the constrained design of enhanced NUCs. First, simplified demappers for NUCs are studied, and modified virtual point searching (VPS)-based demappers are proposed. Theoretical analysis and numerical results show that the proposed modified VPS-based demappers reduce demapping complexity with negligible performance degradation. Secondly, two shaping constraint schemes are proposed to NUC design for the purpose of low complexity and high capacity. NUCs optimized under the proposed constraints outperform the uniform constellations, and the proposed demappers have good applicability to the optimized NUCs. The proposed NUC design constraint schemes and simplified demappers enable solutions to achieve low-complexity high-capacity communication.
