In this paper, we investigate differential amplitude/phase modulation (APM) schemes for correlated Rayleigh fading channels. Considering the noncoherent maximum-likelihood receiver, a theoretical pairwise error probability (PEP) formula for differential signal vectors with arbitrary power values is derived. The design criterion for the signal set of differential vectors is then proposed based on the asymptotic analysis of the PEP. For both uncoded and coded APM schemes, the design criteria and optimization procedures for bit labeling rules are investigated. The designed differential APM schemes are shown to provide significant improvement in bit-error-rate performance, particularly in the error-floor regions.
