Abstract :
Space-time trellis codes provide both diversity gain and coding gain. There are two different design criteria proposed for space-time trellis codes (STTCs), namely the rank and determinant criteria (RDC) and the Euclidean distance design criteria (EDC). In this paper, we present the performance of STTCs over Nakagami fading channels. Our results show that the STTCs designed for Rayleigh fading channels are also suitable for Nakagami fading channels.
