Iterative Demapping and Decoding for DVB-S2 Communications

In this paper an original detection strategy for Satellite Digital Broadcasting communications is definited: particularly, we consider the DVB-S2 system, which is proposed as a development of the DVB systems and exploits iterative decoding and higher order modulation; these features allow the derivation of advanced detectors which are based on an iterative demapping and decoding approach. The adoption of this strategy approaches permits a remarkable performance gain and an improvement of the system throughput.
