Analysis of Coded Space-Time Block Transmission

Abstract

In this article, the analysis for a special case, that of concatenated channel codes and orthogonal space-time block codes are provided. The equivalent SISO channel model and recognize that it is a block fading channel are used to derive PEPs for spatially and temporally correlated and Independent and Identically Distributed cases. The analysis for Rayleigh and Rician fading are also provided.
