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. >

Low-complexity ICI suppression for OFDM over time- and frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels

TL;DR: A matched filter bound is derived for OFDM transmissions over doubly-selective Rayleigh fading channels, which benchmarks the best possible performance if ICI is completely cancelled without noise enhancement and low-complexity MMSE and DFE receivers are developed for ICI suppression.

Effect of Channel Estimation Errors on $M$ -QAM With MRC and EGC in Nakagami Fading Channels

TL;DR: A novel formulation of the bit-error rate (BER) of M-QAM with ICE in terms of the signal constellation-dependent effective signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) or amplitudes, which allows to derive the general, accurate, and easy- to-evaluate BER formulas for square and rectangular diversity M- QAM with channel estimation errors.

Cancelling non-linear power amplifier induced distortion from a received signal by moving incorrectly estimated constellation points

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and system for reducing power amplifier induced distortion is provided for the estimation and cancellation of non-linear power amplifiers induced distortion in the received signal, where the difference between the current estimated power amplifier distortion and the previous estimated power amplification distortion is less than a convergence threshold.

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.
