Abstract

In this paper, analytical performance results for space-time trellis codes over Rayleigh fading channels are presented. Bit error probability estimates are obtained, based on the derivation of an exact pairwise error probability expression through a residue technique combined with characteristic function approach. We investigate both quasi-static and interleaved channels as well as the effect of spatial fading correlation on the performance of space-time codes in both channels. Simulation results are also included to confirm the accuracy of analytical estimates.
