Abstract :
The performance of a receiver using a combination of soft-decision decoding and diversity reception is investigated for nonselective multipath Rayleigh fading channels. A new scheme for soft-diversity, soft-decision detection, maximum likelihood selection and decoding (MLSD), is introduced, in which decisions on the diversity channels and decoding are carried out simultaneously by using a trellis and the Viterbi algorithm
