A Channel Compensation Technique Based on Frequency-Hopping Binary Offset Carrier Modulated Signal
Abstract
Space-Air-GroundIntegrated Network (SAGIN) has been becoming a promising future network construction to enable the integration of terrestrial communications, aerial networks and satellite systems, for achieving high data rate wireless access and seamless coverage. Focusing on the space-to-air propagation, which is requiring transmitted signal of large Doppler shift resilience in dynamic circumstances, the proposed signal as employing I/Q modulation to accommodate frequency-hopping binary offset carrier (FH-BOC) signal and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal, and to exploit respective benefits. Finally, numeric results are provided to demonstrate performance superiority on Bit Error Rate (BER) and signal tracking stability. In conclusion, our designed signal requires about 8 dB less energy per bit at the desired BER level than normally compensated OFDM signal.
