Patent ID: 7599419

Claim:
A method for wireless communication in a communication apparatus comprising: generating inner and outer codes in a computer based on channel state information input from a transmitter by generating high-performance trellis codes in the computer; concatenating different inner codes with different outer codes in the computer; and using the generated inner and outer codes in the computer to control wireless communication by the communication apparatus, where generating high-performance trellis codes comprises generating space-time trellis codes by performing set partitioning on a plurality of classes of signal designs to generate in the computer a series of inner codes, each of the series of inner codes being optimized by channel phase feedback of the communication apparatus, and concatenating in the computer each inner code with a multiple trellis coded modulated (M-TCM) outer code to provide a complete space-time trellis code as a cophase space-time trellis code to control the communication apparatus.
