Distribution Matching and Bandwidth Efficient Communication

Speaker: Patrick Schulte
Affiliation: Technical University of Munich

Abstract:

To operate a coded modulation scheme close to capacity, we need very good error correcting codes and shaping. While error correcting codes make a transmission robust to errors, shaping tries to approximate the optimal input distribution for transmission energy reduction.  Probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) is a coded modulation scheme that separates forward error correction and shaping for symmetric input distributions.  We discuss PAS and distribution matching which is an important part for shaping.
