Abstract

In this paper, we present a simplified maximum likelihood detection metric for the newly emerging space-time block codes (STBCs) with generalized coordinate interleaved orthogonal design (GCIOD). We also derive the symbol pairwise error probability (PEP) and the union bound on symbol error rate (SER) for a space-time block coded (STBCed) system with single-symbol detection and rotated QAM scheme over flat Rayleigh fading channels. In particular, linear STBCs with complex orthogonal design (COD) and GCIOD are considered. Based on the theoretical analysis, the symbol PEP of the GCIOD codes is related to the transmit power, signal-to-noise ratio, and the rotated angle of the rotated QAM scheme. However, the symbol PEP of the COD code is irrelevant to the rotated angle. It is shown that simulation results match well with our analysis. Thus, the union bounds on SER can be applied to predict the performance of a STBCed system with adaptive code selection between the full-rate COD and GCIOD codes.
