Abstract
It has been recently recognized by Zehavi that the performance of code d modulation over a Rayleigh fading channel can be improved by bit-wis e interleaving at the encoder output, and by using an appropriate soft -decision metric as an input to a Viterbi decoder. The goal of this pa per is to present in a comprehensive fashion the theory underlying bit -interleaved coded modulation, to provide tools for evaluating its per formance, and to give guidelines for its design.
