Abstract

We propose an explicit construction of full-diversity space-time block codes, under the constraint of an error correction capability. Furthermore, these codes are constructed in order to be suitable for a serial concatenation with an outer linear forward error correcting (FEC) code. We apply the binary rank criterion, and we use the threaded layering technique and an inner linear FEC code to define a space-time error-correcting code. When serially concatenated with an outer linear FEC code, a product code can be built at the receiver, and adapted iterative receiver structures can be applied. An optimized hybrid structure mixing MMSE turbo equalization and turbo product code decoding is proposed. It yields reduced complexity and enhanced performance compared to previous existing structures.
