Coherent vs Noncoherent • Coherent communication • Requires estimation of channel • Non-coherent communication • Depends on prior received symbols
Differential Coding • Coherent schemes: each symbol is independent of the one before it • Differential schemes: encode the differences between consecutive message symbols
DBPSK Modulation • Differential Phase Shift Keying • Binary to analog conversion • Information is given by the phase
Coding DBPSK 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1

Testing Scenarios • Must find areas which can test the performance of each algorithm • SISO performs best with line-of-sight and low noise • MIMO’s performance gains are best demonstrated in noisy environments with little or no line-of-sight, such as cities
