Description
Summary:Probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) has proved to be a promising way to achieve the shaping gain for an additive white Gaussian noise channel with a distribution matcher (DM). However, the DM schemes may suffer a rate loss and increase both complexity and latency, when they are not suited for the input bit stream with redundancy. In this paper, a novel PAS strategy is proposed for a joint source and channel coded modulation system, where the residual source redundancy after source coding can be exploited to obtain both shaping and coding gains. It is shown that the residual source redundancy can be controlled by choosing the row weight distribution for source code, thus making the probability distribution of the modulated symbols be optimized under an appropriate interleaver design. To guarantee the error-floor performance, the source code is constrained by predicting the probability distribution of source bits within target finite-length frames. By jointly designing source and channel codes, the residual source redundancy can also be exploited to achieve the coding gain. Compared with the state-of-the-art code pairs, the proposed code pairs have better error-floor performance, and achieve higher coding and shaping gains without suffering from the rate-loss and the latency caused by DM.
