Wireless Channels
Communication over wireless channels has some complications not encountered in wireline communications
Multipath
Leads to time varying fading. ISI and frequency selective fading From other signals Physical obstructions between transmitter and receiver.
Interference
Fading Mitigation
Fading causes amplitude fluctuations and phase shifts. Phase shifts extremely detrimental to phase based modulation techniques.
Phase correction
Noncoherent detection.
Modulation
Conventionally, wireless systems use block or convolutional codes. Turbo codes are parallel concatenated convolutional codes that are iteratively decoded. Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes also use iterative decoding based on graph theory (message passing). Space Time Block Codes (MIMO).

Both SM and STBC perform best when receiver or transmitter knows the different channel gains.
