Abstract :
In this paper the design and evaluation of 4-state multiple trellis-coded modulation (MTCM) codes for application to quadrature-quadrature phase-shift keying (Q2PSK) are presented. Computer simulations are used to evaluate the performance of these code designs in a non-frequency selective Rician fading propagation environment. Coherent detection, and the benefits of the use of channel state information (CSI) in conjunction with MTCM are also considered. The paper has particular relevance to land mobile satellite radio
