Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of computer and communication, in particular to a soft demodulation method of Gray mapping PAM signal. Background technique
[0002] PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) is a commonly used modulation method in wireless communication. The Gray mapped constellation indicates that the mapped constellation is coded according to the Gray code, which ensures that the mapped constellation is symmetrical and that only one code element is different between adjacent constellation points. Compared with other constellations, the gray map constellation has a lower bit error rate for the same symbol error rate.
[0003] In order to make full use of the information of the received signal for error correction decoding, the demodulator should provide the decoder with soft decision information that can reflect the probability of the received bit, generally using the log-likelihood ratio (LLR, Log-Likelihood Ratio) of the received bit To ...
