Error Performance of Coded AFDM Systems in Doubly Selective Channels (2311.15595v1)
Abstract: Affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM) is a strong candidate for the sixth-generation wireless network thanks to its strong resilience to delay-Doppler spreads. In this letter, we investigate the error performance of coded AFDM systems in doubly selective channels. We first study the conditional pairwise-error probability (PEP) of AFDM system and derive its conditional coding gain. Then, we show that there is a fundamental trade-off between the diversity gain and the coding gain of AFDM system, namely the coding gain declines with a descending speed with respect to the number of separable paths, while the diversity gain increases linearly. Moreover, we propose a near-optimal turbo decoder based on the sum-product algorithm for coded AFDM systems to improve its error performance. Simulation results verify our analyses and the effectiveness of the proposed turbo decoder, showing that AFDM outperforms orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) in both coded and uncoded cases over high-mobility channels.
