Report develops theoretical basis for design of trellis codes that perform optimally when used in multiple trellis-coded modulation on Rician fading communication channels. Codes perform better than codes designed to be optimal on nonfading channels with only additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Design of improved codes based on new distance measure suitable for fading channels. ("Distance" denotes measure of separation in abstract space in theory of codes rather than in ordinary three-dimensional space.)
