Hi steve.
As reported by the athour i.e Taroch in the original paper, as the state
increases there is performance improvement though with increase in decoding
complexity and this was shown in the paper and other authors that have
published something in that area too

Why would you expect the performance to improve when the
state is increased?  In most turbo and turbo-like codes, there is no 
improvement in using constituent codes with larger states.

IS there a published result claiming this for STTC?

Hi Julius,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried something and it seem is working for bit error rate .
I am getting the bit error rate for the taroch paper for 4 state QPSK
which i am trying to reproduce. But as  i  increase the state there is no
performnace improvement as expected.
Another problem i am facing is getting the frame error rate.
Please if you will not mind i can send the written code to you may be you
can find where i am missing it.
I used  the generator matrix notation  for the code and have simulated
using 2 transmit and one recieve antenna.
Will be glad to rea from you.

Well, if you are trying to replicate the original Tarokh et al. paper,
you need to include the channel in the trellis representation,
and consider vectors instead of scalar values for each symbol.

Or, are you expecting somebody to give you C++ code for this?

I'm not clear what you are asking for, since I have no idea what
exactly you have tried.  First of all, does your trellis decoder
work for a one-antenna system?

Hi all,
Can anybody please tell me if there is any different between the viterbi
algorithm for Convoluntional code and that for Space time trellis codes.
I have tried using the decoding approach for convoluntional and trellis
coded modulation (TCM) to decode my 2 states BPSK  space time trellis code
but the ber that  is producing is quite embarasing.
Can anybody please help me out.
I am writing my code in C++.
It will be aprreciated if someone can lend a helping hand here.
