A novel and generic transmit diversity scheme that employs combined single transmit antenna selection (TAS)/orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) scheme with reduced feedback-rate and robust error performance in the presence of feedback errors (FEs) is introduced in this paper. Statistical expressions and performance metrics related to the post-processing signal-to-noise ratio of the proposed scheme are derived for Nakagami-m fading channels considering that the channel estimation process is error-free and the feedback information is delivered to the transmitter side with no delay. Exact expressions for outage probability and bit/symbol error rates of M-ary signals are presented to examine the system performance in the presence of FEs extensively. Also, the asymptotic analysis is provided to explore the asymptotic diversity order and the asymptotic coding gain of the proposed scheme that is compared with that of the conventional TAS/OSTBC scheme from different perspectives. The proposed scheme is shown to provide not only full-diversity order as the conventional scheme for perfect feedback case but also superior error performance in the presence of FEs. Moreover, the error performances of both schemes and the superiority of the modified scheme are examined by considering an error-correcting structure in the feedback link.

The radio frequency spectrum has become very congested and scarce. A response to this dilemma is the implementation of visible light communications (VLC) technology, which is enabled by the dramatic development of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes (LDs). VLC has become the most popular emerging telecommunication technology. This is due to the interesting advantages that it provides, which include an unlicensed and large bandwidth, a high throughput capability and a low implementation cost. VLC needs a pivot network in medium and long distance transmissions. The amplify-and-forward scenario between the backbone network and VLC is cost-effective owing to its simplicity when compared to the decode-and-forward scenario. MPSK-CSK is a typical example of cascaded systems in AF scenario with VLC where the backbone channel utilises PSK to convey the message. In this paper, we investigate a forward error correction scheme for cascaded MPSK-CSK systems. A convolutional encoder is added to the MPSK-CSK scheme to construct the hybrid trellis coded modulation scheme. Selected 8HTCM systems using set partitioning are investigated and results for a Gaussian channel are presented. Numerical results reveal that 8HTCM achieves up to 2.129 dB of asymptotic coding gain when compared to the corresponding un-coded MPSK-CSK system.

The criterion used to find good convolutional codes has traditionally been the maximization of the free distance for a given constraint length and code rate. In this letter we approach convolutional code design from a different perspective. We assume no constraints in the rate of the code, and the only restriction is in the constraint length. That is, we assume we can utilize as much bandwidth as necessary but we are complexity-limited by the constraint length we can afford, The result are optimum codes for a given constraint length, which can find application, for example, in CDMA systems.
