Symbol-Domain Chase Combining on Fourier-Curve Constellations: Exact Identities and Penalties of Per-Round Bit Reduction
A Fourier-curve constellation adds artificial noise along the tangent at the transmitted symbol, giving each symbol candidate its own rank-one noise covariance. A Chase retransmission repeats such a symbol, and the receiver can either accumulate the candidate metrics before forming bit log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) or a...
