Abstract

Space Time Trellis Code (STTC) is a technique that can be used to improve the performance ofthe Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system over wireless channels byproviding both coding gain and diversity gain. STTC is combined from two codes, Trellis CodeModulation (TCM) as an inner code and Space Time Block Code (STBC) as an outer code. TCMwhich combines the choice of a modulation scheme with that of a convolutional code provides thecoding gain, and the other code provides the diversity gain. Simulation is done over flat fading andfrequency selective Rayleigh fading channel for Eight Phase Shift Keying (8-PSK) TCM. It foundthat the best results are obtained for the case of two transmitters and three receivers which have again of about 18dB over that without STBC.
