A Low Complexity Mapping and Modulation Scheme for IEEE 802.15.4b

: We detail a code mapping scheme designed especially for devices in the enhanced wireless personal area networks operating in both the 868MHz and 915MHz bands for the emerging IEEE 802.15.4b standard. This carefully designed coding scheme, called Cyclic Odd Bit Inversion length 16 (COBI-16), meets all the following three essential criteria: (a) no spikes in the frequency spectrum, (b) low complexity correlation operations and (c) simple frequency offset and DC compensation operations. The scheme is tested in both AWGN and Rayleigh fading (flat and frequency selective) channels. Both coherent and non-coherent demodulations are investigated. Also investigated are the synchronous false alarm rate and synchronous miss rate in the AWGN channel. The results show that the scheme conforms to all the stringent requirements defined by the IEEE 802.15.4b protocol. The scheme has been accepted by the IEEE 802.15.4b task group as the standard for data transmission.
