Abstract
We present a method for designing high-rate, high-performance SCTCM systems with in-line interleavers. Using in-line EXIT charts and ML performance analysis, we develop criteria for choosing constituent codes and optimization methods for selecting the best ones. To illustrate our methods, we show that an optimized SCTCM system with an in-line interleaver for rate r = 5/6 and 64QAM has better performance than other turbo-like TCMs with the same parameters
