Outage probability and space-time code design criteria for frequency selective fading channels with fractional delay

We propose a method to calculate the outage probability of systems with multiple transmit antennas in frequency selective fading channels, where the multipaths may arrive at a fractional of the symbol period. The design criteria of space-time codes in such channels are also briefly discussed.
