1. Performance measure and comparison of digital modulation/ demodulation

 Measure the performance BPSK ,FSK ,ASK and M-QAM modulation-
demodulation techniques in terms of
 Spectral efficiency
 bit error rate and symbol error rate
 Bite rate and Symbol rate
 bandwidth used
 spectral efficiency vs. reliability/robustness
 constellation point
2. Performance measure and comparison of Higher order and adaptive digital modulation
and demodulation
 M-QAM, M-PSK, M-FSK, Adaptive modulation demodulation techniques
 Consider some specific application like for LTE , LTE-A, 5G, WiMax, optical
communication
 Measure and analysis in terms
 bit error rate and symbol error rate
 Efficiency
 bite rate and symbol rate
 bandwidth used
 efficiency vs. reliability
 constellation point
3. performance Measurment and Comparison of Power limited modulation or Signalling
 Consider the signalling /modulation/ demodulation techniques
 Consider some specific application like for LTE , LTE-A, 5G, Wi-Max, optical
communication
 Measure their performance in terms of
 bit error rate and symbol error rate
  Efficiency
 bite rate and symbol rate
 bandwidth used
 efficiency vs. reliability
 constellation point
 Compare the performance with the bandwidth limited modulation techniques
4. Adaptive modulation vs classical linear higher order modulation(M-PSK,M-QAM)
incorporated with turbo codding schemes in fading Channel
 Consider adaptive modulation and linear higher order modulation techniques
type(MPSK,MQAM)
 Consider frequency dispersive channel(flat fading or frequency selective fading)
 Consider a communication technology-LTE,LTEA and 5G, consider working
frequency and bandwidth of the technology
 Performance of Higher order modulation in terms of channel capacity, spectral
efficiency and throughput as well as probability of error
 Performance of adaptive modulation in terms of channel capacity, spec efficiency,
power efficiency and throughput as well as probability of error
 Comparison the Channel capacity vs complexity of using codding vs Reliabilty of
the Higher order modulation in fading Channel
