Abstract :
This letter concerns the performance assessment of cascade trellis-block space-time codes. We focus on the case where the 2×2 orthogonal block space-time code is used as the inner code. Either bounding or hybrid bounding/simulation techniques can be used. The proposed work provides some insights into the properties of such codes.
