This paper studies turbo-like coded modulation in the block-fading channel. In particular we show that the performance of such coded modulation schemes is close to the information outage probability of the channel for any block length, as opposed to standard coded modulation schemes based on trellis-terminated convolutional codes. For large block length, asymptotic performance of the proposed structure is given by the distribution of its decoding threshold. By using asymptotic weight enumerator techniques, we derive the asymptotic maximum-likelihood performance of the proposed codes.
