Communications over phase noise channels: a tutorial review

SUMMARY In this tutorial paper, we first review the main information–theoretic results on channels affected by a time-varying phase noise. The main maximum a posteriori symbol detection algorithms to be employed in such a challenging scenario are then described considering linear modulations and advanced coding schemes based on iterative detection and decoding. The role of pilot symbols will be also discussed. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
