Coded Modulation and Space-Time Coding

From Ungerboeck to DMT-Optimal Lattice Codes

Joint design of error-correcting codes and modulation schemes, from Ungerboeck's trellis-coded modulation through bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) and space-time codes to DMT-optimal lattice constructions. The coding and modulation theory that underpins every modern wireless standard, anchored in CommIT's foundational contributions to BICM and LAST codes.
