Embedded space-time block codes for concatenated systems

In this paper we propose new coded modulation for multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. This coded modulation is a generalised concatenated code. Its inner code is embedded Golden code which we introduce in this paper with a decoding algorithm. Its outer code is a product code with component Reed-Solomon code. We use iterative decoding algorithm for this product code. The performance of the proposed system is estimated with a computer simulation.
