This paper treats multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna subset selection employing space-time coding. We consider two cases differentiated based on the type of channel knowledge used in the selection process. We address both the selection algorithms and the performance analysis. We first consider the case when the antenna subsets are selected based on exact channel knowledge (ECK). Our ...

The combination of Turbo codes and space-time block codes is studied for use in CDMA systems. Each user's data are rst encoded by a Turbo code. The Turbo coded data are next sent to a space-time block encoder which employs a BPSK constellation. The space-time en-coder output symbols are transmitted through the fading channel using multiple antennas. A multistage receiver is proposed using non-l...

We present in this paper a linear blind multiuser receiver, referred to as the Capon receiver, for code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems utilizing multiple transmit antennas and space-time (ST) block coding. The Capon receiver is designed by exploiting signal structures imposed by both spreading and ST coding. We highlight the unique ST coding induced structure, which is shown to be crit...

We propose a new space-time coding scheme for the quasi-static multiple-antenna channel with perfect channel state information at the receiver and no channel state information at the transmitter. The new scheme includes both trellis space-time codes and layered space-time codes as special cases. When the number of transmit antennas is not larger than the number of receive antennas our scheme ca...

Space-time block codes provide maximal diversity advantage over a fading channel. This paper presents a novel technique that provides additional diversity gain by coupling antenna selection with a space-time block code. Specifically, we provide a choice of transmit antenna elements at the transmitter and transmit a space-time code over the optimal antenna pair. We present the optimal selection ...

The paper presents a method for constructing space-time block codes for multiple-input multiple-output channels by concatenating orthogonal designs with the so-called diversity transform. Relying on unitary transforms, the diversity transform increases the channel alphabet without sacrificing information rate, bandwidth, or Euclidean distance. The distribution of the resulting channel alphabet ...

Space-Time codes have shown considerable promise for reliable transmission over wireless fading channels by eeciently employing transmit diversity. Past work only considered design of space-time codes with linear modulation. In this paper we give the design criterion of space-time codes for at Rayleigh Fading channel in CPM system. A simple code example is provided to demonstrate its good perfo...

Introduction: In this paper, we study the design of space–time codes for frequency selective quasi-static fading channels with nonnegligible ISI. It has been shown by Tarokh et al. [1] that the achievable diversity of a space– time code designed for flat fading channel is not reduced if it is used in a frequency selective fading channel. However, a full diversity space-time code designed for fl...

A beamforming system combined with fourbranch space-time block encoder is proposed. This leads to higher system performance and system flexibility in that the number of transmit antennas is not limited unlike transmit diversity system. Our system shows mainly three interesting results. First, diversity gain from space-time block coding (STBC) and beamforming gain are observed. Second the effect...

The notion of universally decodable matrices (UDMs) was recently introduced by Tavildar and Viswanath while studying slow fading channels. It turns out that the problem of constructing UDMs is tightly connected to the problem of constructing maximum distance separable (MDS) codes. In this paper, we first study the properties of UDMs in general and then we discuss an explicit construction of a c...
