The paper addresses the doubly iterative decoding of space-time turbo codes with a large number of transmit and receive antennas. In the doubly iterative scheme, the decoder uses preliminary soft values of the coded symbols and the soft estimates only for Quadratic-Phase-Shift-Keying (QPSK) modulation have been determined. In this paper we propose and explain the soft estimates related to the signal constellations for 8-PSK and 16-PSK modulations. The coding gains, given in dB, have been determined through simulations for two situations: without double iterations and for doubly iterative decoding for a number of 1 and 4 iterations, using 16 transmit and receive antennas, respectively, showing the compromise between the spectral efficiency and the coding gain.
