The proposed Quasi-Orthogonal Space-TimeFrequency Trellis code combines set partitioning and the structure of quasi-orthogonal space-frequencydesigns in a systematic way. In addition to multipath diversity and transmit diversity, the proposed code provides receive diversity, array gain, and achieve high-coding gain over a frequency selective fadingchannel. As simulation results demonstrate, the code outperforms the existing Quasi-Orthogonal SpaceTime-Frequency Trellis codes in terms of frame error rate performance. %K MIMO-OFDM %K receive diversity %K quasi-orthogonal designs %K trellis codes %K space-time-frequency codes. %U http://airccse.org/journal/ijsea/papers/3312ijsea03.pdf
