Abstract
Noncoherent detection is an attractive technique in this year because it does not require carrier phase tracking. This thesis contains a systematic investigation of practical coding strategies for noncoherent communication over fading channel, guided by explicit comparisons with EXIT chart analysis. Our system is designed into a serial concatenation of a standard binary outer channel code with an inner modulation code amenable to noncoherent detection for noncoherent communication system. Based on the inner modulation codes, we porpose a novel transmission and reeceiving scheme called "Codeword-Interleaved Transmission/Receiving Scheme" to futher improve the noncoherent system. From the simulation result, we can see that the performance improves substantially by using our proposed scheme.
