On the Information Rate and Repeat-Accumulate Code Design for Phase Noise Channels

We investigate the information rate of channels affected by phase noise, aiming at predicting the ultimate performance limits in this scenario. Moreover, a closed-form upper bound is also derived for phase shift keying (PSK) modulations. Finally, we consider the design of nonsystematic irregular repeat-accumulate (RA) codes for this channel trying to give new insights on the codes to be employed for such an application.
