Abstract :
The performance of trellis codes on a Rayleigh fading channel is presented. Performance of good Gaussian channel codes is assessed by means of a simulation. Two four-state trellis-coded modulated (TCM) codes for Rayleigh fading channels, which perform significantly better than the best additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel codes previously published, are presented. The best four-state code achieves a 5.8-dB gain at an error rate of 10-2 as opposed to the 3.7-dB gain achieved by the Gaussian channel code
