Summary: 
This paper studies bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) systems that employ multi-dimensional mappings of M-ary constellations to improve the error performance over Rayleigh fading channels. Based on the analytical evaluations of the asymptotic bit error probability (BEP), the distance criteria for the mapping designs can be obtained. A binary switching algorithm (BSA) is then applied to find the optimal mappings with respect to the asymptotic performance. Simulation and analytical results show that the use of multi-dimensional mappings of M-ary constellations can significantly improve the error performance.
