Conventional two-stage turbo-detected schemes typically suffer from a Bit Error Rate (BER) floor, preventing them from achieving infinitesimally low BER values, especially, when the inner coding stage is of non-recursive nature. We circumvent this deficiency by proposing a three-stage turbo-detected Sphere Packing (SP) aided Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) STBC-SP scheme, where a rate-1 recursive inner precoder is employed to avoid having a BER floor. The convergence behaviour of this serially concatenated scheme is investigated with the aid of 3D Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) Charts. Furthermore, the capacity of the STBC-SP scheme is determined and an algorithm is proposed for calculating a tighter upper bound on the maximum achievable bandwidth efficiency, based on the EXIT charts of the STBC-SP demapper. The proposed three-stage turbo-detected scheme operates within about 1.0 dB of the capacity and within 0.5 dB of the maximum achievable bandwidth efficiency limit.
