Abstract :
Space-time trellis codes have shown to provide a good performance in Rayleigh fading channels. Super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes have shown to outperform these codes, and also provide a systematic design method to maximize diversity and coding gain in quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. We investigate the performance of these new codes in rapid Rayleigh fading channels and further propose a concatenated version of these codes. Some simulation results of the various concatenated schemes in quasi-static and rapid Rayleigh fading are presented
