  1. This paper derives a union bound on the frame error rate (FER) of a probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) system which uses a CRC-aided, rate −k/k+1 , systematic, recursive trellis-coded modulation (TCM). A tail-biting convolutional code (TBCC) provides the feed-forward error correction (FEC) code for the TCM. The system is referred as CRC-TCM-PAS [1]. In order to derive the union bound, we first prove that the concatenation of a CRC and a rate −k/k+1 convolutional code is equivalent to a new convolutional code. Then, we give the generating function of the new convolutional code using Biglieri's product-state-diagram approach. A union bound can be calculated using the generating function. Simulation results show that the derived union bound is tight in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime and can be used to design the convolutional and CRC codes. Simulation results also show that the optimized CRC-TCM-PAS system exceeds the random coding union (RCU) bound and outperforms the PAS systems with various FEC codes studied in [2] for the same number of input bits and the same transmission rate.
