On space-time coding for quasi-static multiple-antenna channels

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. Our scheme can be efficiently decoded by minimum mean-square error (MMSE) decision-feedback interference cancellation coupled with Viterbi decoding through the use of per-survivor processing (PSP). We discuss the code design for the new scheme, and show that finding codes with optimal diversity is much easier than for conventional trellis space-time codes.
