Design, software implementation and testing of a CCM scheme employing RM codes and MPSK modulation

A senior undergraduate project in digital communication combining coding an d modulation with computer simulation is described. The project consists of the study of combining coding with modulation using Reed Muller (RM) codes and the Multi Phase Shift Keying (MPSK) technique with a view to optimisin g on bandwidth, designing the combined trellis decoder and computer simulat ion of the performance of such a combined scheme in a Gaussian channel. The simulated results correlated well with the performance predicted by theory .
