“…But differentially encoding trellis-coded symbols changes codewords and thus affects distances, so TCM-DE was commented by "It would be desirable that the performance be directly dependent on the trellis code" [9]. In [12], to further explain this point, we gave an example of two code sequences (1, 1, 1, 1, · · · ) and (−1, −1, 1, 1, · · · ).…”
