Abstract

We present a new architecture of layered space-time codes as a combination of Bell Laboratory Layered Space-Time (BLAST) architecture and of special Space Time Trellis (STTC) Codes which are variations about the Super Orthogonal Space-Time Trellis Codes (SOSTTC) first introduced by Ionescu et al in [1] [2] and further improved by Jafarkhani et al. in [3]. The system we propose is named Super Quasi Orthogonal Horizontal Layered Space Time Trellis Code (SQOHLSTTC). It consists in a powerful Space-Time Block Code (STBC) based STTC originally derived for a three transmit antenna system, together with an original block based decoding algorithm. The decoding algorithm of SQOHLSTTC combines group interference suppression and group interference cancellation techniques. To implement the system, we propose a low complexity hard decision iterative decoding method. System performances confirm the great interest of the proposed transmission scheme.
