Abstract

Space-time block coded (STBC) in-phase quadrature-phase (IQ)-interleaved coded modulation (CM) schemes are proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Trellis coded modulation (TCM), turbo TCM (TTCM), bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) and iteratively decoded BICM (BICM-ID) schemes having a similar decoding complexity are employed in conjunction with 16-level quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM) for yielding an effective throughput of 3 information bits per symbol. The IQ-diversity attained by the proposed schemes provides a significant additional coding gain. It was found that TTCM and BICM-ID assisted STBC-IQ-OFDM were the best schemes in terms of the achievable bit error ratio and frame error ratio, respectively.
