A selection circuit is connected to each of the filter banks and selects an output from one of the filters in the filter bank. The selected output is associated with a filter having a transfer function most suitable to a current fading environment.

A universal method of trellis encoding signals mapped according to any signal constellation format involves constructing an encoder output table and a state transition table. The encoder output table defines the output symbol of an encoder given the input symbol and the present state of the encoder, while the state transition table defines the next state of the encoder given the present state of the encoder and the input applied to the encoder. The output table and the next state table are constructed with the objective of providing maximal distances between the branches of the trellis diagram without any regards for the shift register implementation of the code. Cyclic trellis-coded modulation is an example of such codes without feed-forward or feed-back shift register implementations, and with equal or better performance than “optimal” shift register trellis codes with 16 states or less. The cyclic trellis codes for both AWGN and Rayleigh fading applications can be constructed for any signal constellation without resorting to exhaustive searches.

Pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) techniques for Rayleigh and Rician fading channels are derived. Previous techniques implement PSAM signal detectors as an ad-hoc design, using pilot symbols to first estimate channel gain, and then using channel gain estimates in a conventional coherent detector to make data decisions. Although this structure may be effective for binary phase shift keying in Rayleigh fading, it is suboptimal for Rician fading and for 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation in Rayleigh fading. According to techniques disclosed herein, a PSAM signal detector jointly processes pilot symbols and data symbols. The performance of signal detectors according to embodiments of the invention is analyzed and compared with that of conventional detectors. Numerical results are presented to show that the performance gain of a proposed new PSAM signal detector over conventional PSAM detectors can be as much as 2 or 3 dB for Rician fading in some cases.
