Abstract
By using convolutional coding coupled with expanded sets of channel signals, Ungerboeck showed that it is possible to obtain coding gains of several decibels at a given data rate without increasing the transmission bandwidth. In this paper, we construct a class of optimum signal space codes using short binary block (as opposed to convolutional) codes. Our results are compared to those obtained by Ungerboeck. A simplified decoding procedure that is asymptotically optimum is also presented.Keywords
