Summary: 
Using several high rate recursive convolutional codes as the basic element and the trace criteria as the designing principle, a new kind of recursive space-time trellis code with more flexible and higher data rate is presented for the serially concatenated space-time code. When 2b-ary modulation and N transmit antennas are used, the data rate of the new code can be arranged from b bps/Hz to Nb-1bps/Hz by modifying the number of recursive convolutional codes and the data rate of each code.
