Concatenated Space-Time Block Coding with Asymmetric MPSK TCM for Fast Fading Channels
Ao Ju, Ma Chunbo and Liao Guisheng

Abstract: The field of concatenated space-time block coding (inner) with trellis coded modulation (outer) has recently attracted interest as a means of jointly considering the error correction coding gain and diversity gain possible without bandwidth expansion and power expansion over fading channels. In this research, a concatenated Space-Time Block Coding (STBC)with asymmetric MPSK TCM scheme, based on the design criteria for constructing concatenated space-time block coding with TCM for fast Rayleigh fading channels, is presented by introducing the new optimal signal point assignment. Using parameter comparison and simulation results, the proposed concatenated STBC with asymmetric MPSK TCM is shown to have better coding gain than traditional concatenated STBC with TCM under the same spectral efficiency, decoding complexity.
