For uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channels code design criteria are given by deriving pairwise error probability (PEP) of this system in which a trellis encoder and SM mapper are jointly designed. These criteria are then used to obtain 4 8 and 16-states TC-SM schemes. It is shown via computer simulations that the proposed TC-SM schemes achieve better error performance than the classical space-time trellis codes with reduced decoder complexity. © 2011 IEEE.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessConference Object12212510.1109/SIU.2011.59296032-s2.0-799604082080
