Abstract

This paper proposes a class of full space diversity full rate space-time turbo codes. Both parallel concatenated and serially concatenated codes are designed. A rank theory proposed by the authors earlier is employed to check the full space diversity of the codes. The simulations show that the space-time turbo codes can take full advantage of space diversity and time diversity if they are available in the channels. We also study the robustness of performance of both turbo codes and trellis codes in space-time correlated fading channels
