Abstract: An original analysis is presented for spectrum-sliced (SS) transmission employing digital pulse position modulation (PPM) and maximum likelihood detection. The treatment is placed within the ...

we extend the structure to high-level modulation such as 8PSK, and 16QAM. The structure consists of a simple 4-state convolutional or short block code as an outer code, and a rate-1, 2 or 4-state ...
