Hristo Kostadinov, Hiroyoshi Morita, Noburo Iijima, Nikolai L. Manev · 2008
A new construction of double error correctable integer codes and their application to QAM scheme are presented. Soft decoding algorithm for multiple error correctable integer code which are suited to any modulation scheme (QAM, PSK, ASK) will be introduced. Comparison of bit error rate (BER) versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) between soft and hard decoding using integer coded modulation (ICM) shows us that we can obtain approximately 2 dB coding gain.
