An analysis of pilot symbol assisted modulation for Rayleigh fading channels (mobile radio)

TLDR
In this paper, the bit error rate in binary-phase-shift-keying (BPSK) and in quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), for a tight upper bound on the symbol error rate for 16-QAM was presented.
Abstract
The author presents pilot-symbol-assisted modulation (PSAM) on a solid analytical basis, a feature missing from previous work. Closed-form expressions are presented for the bit error rate (BER) in binary-phase-shift-keying (BPSK) and in quadrature-phase-shift-keying (QPSK), for a tight upper bound on the symbol error rate in 16 quadrature-amplitude-modulation (16-QAM), and for the optimized receiver coefficients. The error rates obtained are lower than for differential detection for any combination of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and Doppler spread, and the performance is within 1 dB of a perfect reference system under slow-fading conditions and within 3 dB when the Doppler spread is 5% of the symbol rate. >

Rayleigh fading compensation method for 16QAM in digital land mobile radio channels

TL;DR: In this paper, a Rayleigh fading compensation method for 16-QAM was proposed, where second-order interpolation was used for the fading compensation, and the degradation due to the proposed fading compensation was about 2 dB.
