Perfect Space Time Block Codes

Cooperative Orthogonal Space-Time-Frequency Block Codes over a MIMO-OFDM Frequency Selective Channel

In this paper, a cooperative algorithm to improve the orthogonal space-timefrequency block codes (OSTFBC) in frequency selective channels for 2*1, 2*2, 4*1, 4*2 MIMO-OFDM systems, is presented. The algorithm of three node, a source node, a relay node and a destination node is formed, and is implemented in two stages. During the first stage, the destination and the relay antennas receive the sym...

Perfect Space-Time Block Codes and Ultra-Wideband

In this report, we present the techniques for constructing Space-Time Block Codes based on division algebra. Even though commutative division algebra can be applied for the construction, we focus on noncommutative division algebra, especially in the construction of so-called perfect space-time (ST) block codes. These codes provide full rate, full diversity and non-vanishing constant minimum det...

Characterization of $2times 2$ full diversity space-time codes and inequivalent full rank spaces

‎In wireless communication systems‎, ‎space-time codes are applied to encode data when multiple antennas are used in the receiver and transmitter‎. ‎The concept of diversity is very crucial in designing space-time codes‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎using the equivalent definition of full diversity space-time codes‎, ‎we first characterize all real and complex $2times 2$ rate one linear dispersion space-...

Concatenated space-time block coding with trellis coded modulation in fading channels

Trellis coded modulation (TCM) is a bandwidth efficient transmission scheme that can achieve high coding gain by integrating coding and modulation. This paper presents an analytical expression for the error event probability of concatenated space–time block coding with TCM which reveals some dominant factors affecting the system performance over slow fading channels when perfect interleavers ar...

Layered Space-Time Index Coding

Multicasting K independent messages via multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels to multiple users where each user already has a subset of messages as side information is studied. A general framework of constructing layered space-time index coding (LSTIC) from a large class of space-time block codes (STBC), including perfect STBC, is proposed. We analyze the proposed LSTIC and show that i...
