Optimal And Approximate Methods For Detection Of Uncoded Data With Carrier Phase Noise, Rajet Krishnan, Hani Mehrpouyan, Thomas Eriksson, Tommy Svensson

Previous results in the literature have shown that derivation of the optimum maximum-likelihood (ML) receiver for symbol-by-symbol (SBS) detection of an uncoded data sequence in the presence of random phase noise is an intractable problem, since it involves the computation of the conditional probability distribution function (PDF) of the phase noise process. In this paper, we seek to minimize symbol error probability (SEP), which is achieved by SBS detection of the sequence based on all received signals. We show that the ML detector for this problem can be formulated as a weighted sum of central moments of the conditional PDF …
