Cooperative Multiple Trellis Coded Modulation for OFDM Systems

In this paper, we consider the applicability of the cooperative multiple trellis coded modulation (CMTCM) technique to single antenna OFDM systems. We design cooperative multiple trellis codes that provide significant gains over non-cooperative coded modulation without sacrificing the data rate and bandwidth consumption. We present simulation results that support the theoretical designs and illustrate the viability of the proposed cooperative MTCM technique for OFDM systems.
