Abstract

Super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes (SOSTTC) have recently been proposed as an efficient method to provide both diversity and coding gain for wireless communications. In this paper, the performance of SOSTTC over Nakagami fading channel is investigated. Simulation results with various fading parameter shows that the SOSTTCs designed for Rayleigh fading channels based on the rank, minimum determinant and trace criterion, are also suitable for Nakagami fading channels.
