Objectives: To minimize the bit error rate and enhance the radio signal power by an application of the Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) for the Fifth Generation (5G) technology in tropical regions. Methods: Various diversity techniques have been adopted to diminish the Bit Error Rate. A Communication link model has been proposed in this work and an STBC MIMO system (Space-Time Block Coding multiple-input multiple-output) has been applied to enhance the diversity gain and coding gain of the proposed model. The said model has been implemented in this work for tropical regions for increasing the radio signal power. Findings: The basic climatic feature of tropical regions is a heavy amount of rainfall throughout the year. Because of such rainfall, the radio signal power in these regions gets diminished, and the Bit Error Rate (BER) increases. By applying the proposed communication link model in the tropical regions the Bit Error Rate has been reduced. The values of the Bit Error Rate of the proposed model have been obtained for Rayleigh distribution, Rician distribution and various MIMO techniques. Novelty: A hardware cosimulation block and a 4x4 STBC MIMO has been developed with its subsequent verification on Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA board.
