Abstract :
Zehavi (1992) showed that the performance of coded modulation over a Rayleigh fading channel can be improved by bit-wise interleaving the encoder output and by using an appropriate soft-decision metric as an input to a Viterbi decoder. The goal of this paper is to present in a comprehensive fashion the theory underlying bit-interleaved coded modulation, to provide tools for evaluating its performance, and to give guidelines for its design
