block codes

We study precoding for the outage probability minimization of block fading (BF) channels and BF relay channels. Recently, an upper bound on the outage probability with precoding was established for BF channels, but only for high instantaneous SNR. …

The block fading channel model is very useful for many systems in urban environments. When striving for high performance implying high rate, full-diversity and excellent coding gain, coded modulations have to be used. When linear precoding is used, …
