trellis_encoder.m

it is very good codes for space-time systerms

function enc_data = trellis_encoder(data,dlt,slt)

%**************************************************************************
%   Space-time trellis channel encoder
%   Q = TRELLIS_ENCODER(D,DLT,SLT) performs the data (D) encoding based on 
%   the DLT and SLT look-up tables. The tables for AT&T space-time codes 
%   these tables may be easily obtained from the LTABLE function. In fact 
%   the structure of look-up tables is as general as possible. 
%   The encoder doesn't care about the content of the look-up tables. 
%   This feature allows you to force the encoder's operation mode into 
%   the arbitrary scheme. Even an encoding based on block codes may be
%   performed using the space function. This is when the slt table is
%   filled with equal entries.
