11. Sobre a Implementação de Retículos: Um Algoritmo de Decodificação/demapeamento Combinados


Lattices are efficient Coded Modulation schemes. The practical implementation of bounded lattices
deals with a mapping of binary strings into lattice points, decoding noisy vectors into a lattice point
and demapping it into binary sequences. We introduce a combined demapping-decoding algorithm for
lattices obtained from any generalized code formula. The process is simplified by decoding a
noisy vector directly into a binary stream. The aim is to exploit attractive configurations from
the practical point of view. The algorithm performance is evaluated by simulation:
It is maximum likelihood for lattices from construction A, and it is bounded distance in any other case.
