Abstract :
Three new Block Code Diversity combing schemes for digital transmission over a Rayleigh fading channel have been proposed. It has been shown that improved performance in term of probability of error versus signal to noise ratio has been obtained using soft-decision Viterbi decoding together with diversity techniques. Simulation results have been included to verify the performance of the proposed schemes.
