In this paper, design of quasi-cyclic(QC) low-density parity-check codes is proposed to have full diversity for space-time bit-interleaved coded modulation(ST-BICM) systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions that the proposed scheme has full diversity are proved as the condition that submatrices corresponding to the system part of codewords are invertible. And new construction method of binary invertible matrices for QC LDPC codes in ST-BICM systems are also proposed and modification for parity-check matrices are also explained.

In this paper, we propose a bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) a lied to improved super-orthogonal space-time block code(SOSTBC). The proposed system achieves a greater diversity gain than that of super-orthogonal space-time trellis code (SOSTTC) with similar decoding complexity. Since, using the improved SOSTBC, the bit diversity carl be full diversity of SOSTBC. In contrast, BICM applied to Jafarkhani's SOSTBC is difficult to achieve a greater diversity gain than that of SOSTTC, because every bit diversity of the system is 1.

Bit-interleaved coded modulation(BICM) applied to Alamouti's orthogonal space-time block code(OSIBC) has a rate loss problem In this paper, we expand orthogonal space-time block code(OSTBC) and apply bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) to expanded OSTBC(XOSIBC) to obtain a diversity gain without a rate loss. Binary phase shift keying(BPSK) design example is presented. Simulation results are also provided.
