Burst-by-burst adaptive decision feedback equalized TCM, TTCM, and BICM for H.263-assisted wireless video telephony

Decision feedback equalizer-aided wide-band burst-by-burst adaptive trellis-coded modulation, turbo trellis-coded modulation (TTCM), and bit-interleaved-coded modulation-assisted H.263-based video transceivers are proposed and characterized in performance terms when communicating over the COST 207 typical urban wide-band fading channel. Specifically, four different modulation modes, namely 4QAM, 8PSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM are invoked and protected by the above-mentioned coded modulation schemes. The TTCM assisted scheme was found to provide the best video performance, although at the cost of the highest complexity. A range of lower-complexity arrangements will also be characterized. Finally, in order to confirm these findings in an important practical environment, we have also investigated the adaptive TTCM scheme in the CDMA-based universal mobile telecommunications systems terrestrial radio access (UTRA) scenario and the good performance of adaptive TTCM scheme recorded when communicating over the COST 207 channels was retained in the UTRA environment.
