Abstract

This paper proposes a class of full space diversity QPSK space-time codes based on parallel concatenated convolutional (turbo) codes. A rank criterion of full space diversity is used in the design. Compared with space-time trellis codes, the simulations show it has robust performance at both a quasi-static fading channel and a time varying fading channel
