Experimental Evaluation of Spatial Interleaving in Trellis-Coded MIMO Transmission

Toshiaki Koike, Hidekazu Murata, Susumu Yoshida

Abstract: This letter reports laboratory experiments of trellis-coded multiple-antenna systems. We evaluate the effect of spatial interleaving for the vector Viterbi algorithm under several conditions such as line-of-sight (LOS), non-LOS propagation, frequency-flat and frequency-selective channels.
