Abstract :
In this paper, the performance of two concatenated coding schemes is investigated over Nakagami fading channels. The concatenation coding scheme with iterative decoding involves convolutional code as the outer code and super-orthogonal space-time trellis code (SOSTTC) as the inner code. The pairwise error probability (PEP) for the two schemes were derived and their performances evaluated by computer simulation.
