Huang, "Bit Interleaved Space-Time Codes," <i>IEEE Transactions on Communications,</i> 2001.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/20102Journal PaperWe develop a new construction criterion for BSPK space-time codes which simultaneously reflects both "coding" and "diversity" advantage. Furthermore, we propose a new method of improving the performance of space-time codes, naemly bit interleaving. Subsequently we provide a computationally effective, iterative way of decoding bit interleaved space-time codes. At the end we note the 2dB gain due to the new approach. We note the sixteen state code which operates close to 3dB from the outage probability.engTransmit diversitynatural space-time codesbit interleavingMAPiterative decoderJournal articleTransmit diversitynatural space-time codesbit interleavingMAPiterative decoder
