Abstract

In MIMO systems, diversity can be achieved by repetition coding, in which different antennas at the transmitter transmit the same information at different time slots. The space–time (ST) coding is more bandwidth-efficient coding scheme, which transmits an information symbol block in a different order from each antenna. The diverse copies of the data transmitted are received with multiple receiving antennas. All the copies of the received signal are combined in an optimal way to extract information from each of them. This chapter describes different space–time coding schemes and analyzes their performance in Rayleigh fading.
