• space-time trellis code

The feasibility of the non-full rank space-time trellis codes (NFR-STTCs) for the serially concatenated system is described carefully in this letter and a QPSK-based NFR-STTC suitable for the system is proposed. As the simulation results show, over the flat block Rayleigh fading channels, a concatenated system with the proposed NFR-STTC inner code can achieve full diversity, and improve the coding gains compared with other concatenated systems adopting full-rank space-time trellis codes (FR-STTCs) of the same complexity. The introduction of the NFR-STTC to serial concatenation space-time (SCST) system provides a new research community of SCST.
