Labelling diversity revisited: Towards higher throughput

This paper contributes a new configuration of the space-time encoded system exploiting labelling diversity. Thanks to application of a punctured convolutional code, it performs higher spectral efficiency and requires lower computational payload than its ancestor. A number of methods are employed to investigate properties of the proposed scheme: assessing the position of the error-free feedback bound, the EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart analysis, and, finally, the Monte-Carlo simulation.
