Performance analysis of trellis-coded partial response CPM over Rician fast fading channels

This paper shows the method of theoretical analysis for the bit error proba bility of the trellis-coded partial response continuous phase modulation (T CM-PR-CPM) over the correlated Rician fast frequency nonselective fading ch annel. In the analysis, the fading correlation of the channel and the effec t due to finite interleaver are taken into account. By applying the method to the rate 1/2 (7,2) trellis code with the raked cosine pulse of length 2 (2RC) partial response signaling, we show that the tighter upper bounds of the bit error rate are obtained than those in the preceding report.
