Abstract :
In this paper the flexibility of space-time turbo codes to work with different antenna configurations and constellations is examined. Original contributions are presented for the enhancement of current decoding algorithms and their extension to four transmit antennas. Besides, a metric is proposed for the evaluation of quality of service (QoS) without explicit PER measurement.
