Abstract
Multiple-antenna systems that operate at high rates require simple yet effective space-time transmission schemes to handle the large traffic volume in real time. V-BLAST, where every antenna transmits its own independent substream of data, has been shown to have good performance and simple encoding and decoding. Yet its drawbacks include its inability to work with fewer receive antennas than transmit antennas, and its absence of built-in spatial coding. On the other hand, there are many previously- proposed space-time codes that have good fading resistance and simple decoding, but generally poor performance at high data rates or with many antennas. We propose a high-rate coding scheme that can handle any configuration of transmit and receive antennas and that subsumes both V-BLAST and many proposed space-time codes as special cases. The scheme transmits substreams of data in linear combinations over space and time and the codes are designed to optimize the mutual information between the transmitted and received signals. Because of their linear structure, the codes retain the decoding simplicity of V-BLAST, and because of their information-theoretic optimality, they possess many coding advantages.
