Generalized concatenated MIMO system with GMD decoding

In this paper we propose new coded modulation for multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. This coded modulation is a generalized concatenated code. Its inner code is embedded Golden code which we introduce in this paper with a decoding algorithm. Its outer code is a product code with component Reed-Solomon code. We propose iterative decoding algorithm for this product code. We also propose an generalized minimum distance decoder for generalized concatenated code. The performance of the proposed system is estimated with a computer simulation.
