Some super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes based on non-PSK MTCM

Aijun Song, Genyuan Wang, Xiang‐Gen Xia

Abstract

Super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes recently proposed in the literature are space-time trellis codes of full diversity and high rates systematically constructed by concatenating orthogonal space-time codes and multiple trellis coded modulation (MTCM). However, the existing MTCM only has designs for phase-shift keying (PSK) signals. In this paper, MTCM is extended from PSK signals to non-PSK signals in some special cases. With obtained constellations of MTCM, several super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes for two transmit antennas are presented. The 2- and 4-state codes have a simple mathematical expression for the coding gain distance (CGD), or diversity products. At rates 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 bits/s/Hz, the newly proposed codes outperform the existing ones.
