  • Abstract
    This paper studies the performance of bit interleaved coded modulation (BICM) with a single decision feedback. The separation of demodulation and decoding in BICM inevitably reduces the channel´s capacity. Altering the conventional bit mapping in BICM and allowing a single decision feedback greatly reduces the capacity loss. The extra complexity introduced by the single decision feedback appears well justified for dense constellations.
