Abstract: A digital radio OFDM modulator and demodulator provide an efficient mode and a backwards-compatible mode to work with IEEE 802.15.4g or a similar standard. In backwards-compatible mode, they use a single method for error encoding physical header and payload transmit data, and a single method for detecting and correcting errors in physical header and payload receive data. In efficient mode, they use two different methods. The payload is BCH-LDPC encoded. They may also use mapping constellations that are not available in IEEE 802.15.4g, including 64-QAM, 256-QAM, and APSK. To ensure that physical header data can be received more robustly than payload data, they use frequency diversity of the physical header data, and selection maximal ratio combining (SMRC) in the demodulator to reduce the bit error rate (BER) at a low cost.
