In this paper, we propose an efficient method to detect the signal and evaluate performance of the system in frequency selective fading channel. We combine proposed system with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) to improve performance of the system. First, we study the SOSTTC-OFDM system using two transmit antenna and one receive antenna, and compare performance of the proposed space-time coded OFDM with that of previous system. We expand this system to the system using four transmit antennas with the proposed decoding method. Simulation results show that the proposed decoding method can detect the signal efficiently, and we identify that the performance of the proposed system is shown with varying doppler frequency in frequency selective fading channel.

Super-orthogonal space-time trellis code (SOTTC) uses the expanded set of the orthogonal space-time block code to obtain coding gain and diversity gain without loss of transmit rate. In SOSTTCs, signal set expansions are performed by rotating the first column of the code matrix. The rotating phases used previously were selected to avoid the signal constellation expansion rather than the performance improvement. In this paper, we make a design criterion to select the proper rotating phase to improve the performance of SOSTTCs for fast Rayleigh fading channels. In addition, we design improved SOSTTCs by using the proper rotating phase. Simulation results are also provided to confirm our SOSTTCs are superior to the previous SOSTTCs in the view of BER performance.
