TY - JOUR T1 - Generalized Dynamic Codebook Design for Non-Coherent Short-Packet Communications: Radius Control and Placement of Complex-Conjugate Reciprocal Zero Pairs TT - Generalized Dynamic Codebook Design for Non-Coherent Short-Packet Communications: Radius Control and Placement of Complex-Conjugate Reciprocal Zero Pairs AU - Eren, Tuncay PY - 2025 DA - August Y2 - 2025 JF - International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies and Innovative Technologies JO - IJMSIT PB - SET Teknoloji WT - DergiPark SN - 2602-4888 SP - 94 EP - 101 VL - 9 IS - 1 LA - en AB - Modulation on Conjugate-Reciprocal Zeros (MOCZ) is a non-coherent communication scheme designed for the reliabletransmission of short data packets over unknown wireless multipath channels. Unlike traditional methods that require channelestimation or training sequences, MOCZ encodes information into the zeros of the transmitted signal’s z-transform, enabling thereceiver to decode data without prior channel knowledge. To support multiple users, the Multi-User MOCZ (MU-MOCZ) schemewas introduced, employing time-division multiplexing (TDM). However, the use of a fixed codebook for all users in MU-MOCZcan degrade performance due to variations in channel zero distributions. This paper extends previous work by introducing adynamic codebook design for MU-MOCZ. The design incorporates a rotation parameter into the angular positions of zero-pairs,allowing the transmitter to adjust the codebook to each user’s unique channel conditions and optimize performance. Simulationresults demonstrate significant improvements in bit error rate (BER), throughput, and packet delivery ratio (PDR) compared tothe fixed codebook MU-MOCZ scheme.
