LOW RATE SPACE-TIME TRELLIS CODES INPOWER LIMITED WIRELESSCOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Space-time trellis codes can achieve the best tradeoff among bandwidth efficiency, diversity gain, constellation size and trellis complexity. In this paper, some optimum low rate space-time trellis codes are proposed. Performance analysis and simulation show that the low rate space-time trellis codes outperform space-time block codes concatenated with convolutional code at the same bandwidth efficiency, and are more suitable for the power limited wireless communication system.     

Space-time MSK Codes for Quasi-Static Fading Channels

In this paper, 4-state and 8-state space-time trellis codes with full rate, full diversity and high coding gain are proposed for MSK modulation, based on a technique similar to the super-orthogonal space-time trellis code (SOSTTC) design. Since the phase continuity requirement of MSK is the main constraint in space-time MSK code design not all the signal matrices corresponding to the trellis branches are orthogonal. The paper shows that the SOSTTC design technique can be extended to nonorthogonal coding structures. The new space-time MSK codes have frame error performances very close to those of their space-time QPSK counterparts given in [1]     

Concatenated space-time block coding with trellis coded modulation in fading channels

Trellis coded modulation (TCM) is a bandwidth efficient transmission scheme that can achieve high coding gain by integrating coding and modulation. This paper presents an analytical expression for the error event probability of concatenated space-time block coding with TCM which reveals some dominant factors affecting the system performance over slow fading channels when perfect interleavers are used. This leads to establishing the design criteria for constructing the optimal trellis codes of such a concatenated system over slow flat fading channels. Through simulation, significant performance improvement is shown to be obtained by concatenating the interleaved streams of these codes with space-time block codes over fading channels. Simulation results also demonstrate that these trellis codes have better error performance than traditional codes designed for single-antenna Gaussian or fading channels. Performance results over quasi-static fading channels without interleaving are also compared in this paper. Furthermore, it is shown that concatenated space-time block coding with TCM (with/without interleaving) outperforms space-time trellis codes under the same spectral efficiency, trellis complexity, and signal constellation.     

Very low rate trellis/Reed-Muller (TRM) codes

This paper considers a technique for very low rate channel coding. The main application for such codes is in spread-spectrum systems where significant bandwidth spreading is possible. New, very low rate binary channel codes based on a combination of a trellis code with a first-order Reed-Muller block code (trellis/Reed-Muller (TRM) codes) are presented. The construction technique for TRM codes, which is considered in this paper, is related to Kerdock (1972) codes. It is shown that these TRM codes provide a better tradeoff between rate and gain than other existing very low rate codes, such as the orthogonal or superorthogonal convolutional codes, and the IS-95 uplink code. Due to their improved performance, TRM codes can significantly increase the bandwidth efficiency of spread-spectrum multiple-access systems     

Multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit scheme for multiple antenna systems

In this paper, a novel multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit scheme is proposed to exploit transmit diversity in fading channels. In this scheme, a unique vector from a set of orthogonal vectors is assigned to each transmit antenna. Each of the output symbols from the multiple trellis encoder is multiplied with one of these orthogonal vectors and transmitted from corresponding transmit antennas. By correlating with corresponding orthogonal vectors, the receiver separates symbols transmitted from different transmit antennas. This scheme can be adopted in coherent/differential systems with any number of transmit antennas. It is shown that the proposed scheme encompasses the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation based on the optimal cyclic group codes as a special case. We also propose two better designs over the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation. The first design uses 8 Phase Shift Keying （8-PSK） constellations instead of 16 Phase Shift Keying （16-PSK） constellations in the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation. As a result, the product distance of this new design is much larger than that of the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation. The second design introduces constellations with multiple levels of amplitudes into the design of the multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit scheme. For both designs, simulations show that multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit schemes can achieve better performance than the conventional trellis coded unitarv space-time schemes.     

Super-quasi-orthogonal space-time trellis codes for four transmit antennas

We introduce a new family of space-time trellis codes that extends the powerful characteristics of super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes to four transmit antennas. We consider a family of quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes as building blocks in our new trellis codes. These codes combine set partitioning and a super set of quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes in a systematic way to provide full diversity and improved coding gain. The result is a powerful code that provides full rate, full diversity, and high coding gain. It is also possible to maintain a tradeoff between coding gain and rate. Simulation results demonstrate the good performance of our new super-quasi-orthogonal space-time trellis codes.     

空时格码迹准则在频选衰落信道下的证明

Concatenated codes for fading channels based on recursive space-time trellis codes

We propose a class of codes which combine the principles of turbo coding and space-time trellis codes. It is first shown that several classes of space-time codes have an equivalent recursive realization. This fact is then exploited to design serial concatenated coding schemes with an outer code, interleaver, and an inner recursive space-time encoder. Two solutions are proposed in this paper - the use of convolutional outer codes aimed mainly to improve the power efficiency and the use of very high-rate outer codes to obtain significant improvement in power efficiency with a marginal decrease in spectral efficiency. We show that single parity check based turbo product codes are a good candidate for very high-rate outer codes. Finally, we propose an automatic repeat request scheme based on recursive realizations of space-time codes and show that the proposed scheme provides significant reduction in frame error rate.

Super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes

We introduce a new class of space-time codes called super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes. These codes combine set partitioning and a super set of orthogonal space-time block codes in a systematic way to provide full diversity and improved coding gain over earlier space-time trellis code constructions. We also study the optimality of our set partitioning and provide coding gain analysis. Codes operating at different rates, up to the highest theoretically possible rate, for different number of states can be designed by using our optimal set partitioning. Super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes can provide a tradeoff between rate and coding gain. Simulation results show more than 2-dB improvements over the codes presented in the literature while providing a systematic design methodology.
