A structure of faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling combined with superposition coded modulation (SCM) is considered. The socalled FTN-SCM structure is able to achieve the constrained capacity of FTN signaling and only requires a low detection complexity. By deriving a new observation model suitable for FTN-SCM, we offer the power allocation based on a proper detection method. Simulation results show that, at any given spectral efficiency, the bit error rate (BER) curve of FTN-SCM lies clearly outside the minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) boundary of orthogonal signaling with a larger alphabet. The achieved data rates are also close to the maximum data rates of the certain shaping pulse.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
