  This paper presents novel information-theoretic PHY layer performance
improvement for combating the system fading effects in wireless terrestrial
communication applications. Robust space-time system strategies in cooperation
with the high performance unpunctured serially concatenated codes have been
jointly employed. The wireless terrestrial system also uses M-ary quadrature
amplitude modulation (QAM) signaling to develop a well-established system
modeling for multiple-input single-output (MISO) and multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) analysis. This research also undertakes the analytical
evaluation of time-delay estimation in the presence of additive white Gaussian
noise (AWGN) in multipath areas. The objective of this investigation is to
develop mathematically-oriented estimations intended for suitable employment in
terrestrial communications. This model considers the problem of overlapping the
terrestrial signals arrival-times estimation from a noisy received waveform in
order to develop a system model for terrestrial TDE.
