Channel capacity of n-antenna BLAST architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
The channel capacity of the Bell Labs layered space-time (BLAST) communication architecture is substantially larger than that of traditional systems in certain applications. However, the correlation between individual channels may severely degrade the BLAST performance. An investigation is presented into the BLAST architecture and a simple formula derived for its channel capacity as a function of the correlation coefficient. This gives a simple method of estimating BLAST performance in realistic environments.

متن کاملA Note on the Secrecy Capacity of the Multi-antenna Wiretap Channel
The secrecy capacity of the multi-antenna wiretap channel was recently characterized independently by Khisti and Wornell [1] and Oggier and Hassibi [2] using a Sato-like argument and matrix analysis tools. This note presents an alternative characterization of the secrecy capacity of the multi-antenna wiretap channel using a channel enhancement argument. This characterization is by nature inform...

This paper presents an extension of the vertical Bell Laboratories Layered Space-Time (V-BLAST) architecture in which the closedloop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) capacity can be approached with conventional scalar coding, optimum successive decoding (OSD), and independent rate assignments for each transmit antenna. This theoretical framework is used as a basis for the proposed algorith...
