The NFSK/LPSK research group

Research group: Abstract:

The data transmission speed of GSM can be increased with the use of EDGE, improving the spectral efficiency of the system at the expense of power efficiency. However, in some applications, in addition to good spectral efficiency, good power efficiency is also needed. We study the use of a spectral and power efficient modulation scheme, a combination of frequency and phase modulation NFSK/LPSK with turbo coding, to improve the performance of the GSM EDGE system.
