Analysis of the effects of time delay spread on TCM performance.

We investigate the effect of time delay spread on trellis coded modulation (TCM) in a wireless radio environment where equalization is not employed to mitigate the effects of frequency selective fading when the time delay spread is small. Using a random variable decomposition technique and a Gaussia...
