Research on Probabilistic Constellation Shaping for 16-QAM Under Prof. Jeonghun Park
- Explored PCS techniques to enhance spectral efficiency of 16-QAM over AWGN channels.
- Developed a Monte Carlo mutual information estimator and applied Maxwell–Boltzmann shaping for optimal symbol probabilities.
- Demonstrated shaping gains across SNR regimes, highlighting PCS as a promising approach for future BICM and adaptive modulation systems.
