Media type: E-Article Title: Communications over phase noise channels: a tutorial review Contributor: Colavolpe, Giulio imprint: Wiley, 2014 Published in: International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, 32 (2014) 3, Seite 167-185 Language: English DOI: 10.1002/sat.1036 ISSN: 1542-0973; 1542-0981 Origination: Footnote: Description: <jats:title>SUMMARY</jats:title><jats:p>In this tutorial paper, we first review the main information–theoretic results on channels affected by a time‐varying phase noise. The main maximum a posteriori <jats:italic>symbol</jats:italic> detection algorithms to be employed in such a challenging scenario are then described considering linear modulations and advanced coding schemes based on iterative detection and decoding. The role of pilot symbols will be also discussed. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.</jats:p>
