Abstract
The degree of diversity and thereby the minimum Hamming distance (HD) of a code is known to be the most important design parameter in a perf ectly interleaved nonfrequency-selective slowly-fading channel. The co ncatenation of an inner multilevel block modulation code with an outer non-binary single parity check (SPC) code yields a doubling of the HD . Simulation results for Rayleigh and Rician fading channels show cons iderable coding gains compared to uncoded 4-PSK.
