Demodulate-and-Forward Relaying with Higher Order Modulations: Impact of Channel State Uncertainty
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we study the impact of uncertain channel state information (CSI) on the performance of demodulate-and-forward relaying protocols with higher order modulation formats such as pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) and rectangular quadrature-amplitude modulation (QAM). Assuming a single source and a single destination node assisted by $N$ relay nodes, we study the average bit error probability (BEP) performance of $M$-ary PAM and rectangular QAM constellations with Gray code mapping and imperfect CSI at the relay nodes as well as the destination. The main contributions of this paper are the derivation of closed-form expressions for $a)$ the cumulative distribution functions of the demodulator test statistics, $b)$ the transition probability of error at a given relay, and $c)$ the average BEP for independent and not necessarily identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels with imperfect receiver CSI.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
