On decision-feedback detection of differential space-time modulation in continuous fading

We show that linear prediction (LP)-based decision-feedback detection (DFD) for nondiagonal differential space-time modulation (DSTM) may suffer from a severe performance degradation in continuously fading channels. DSTM constellations that incur no degradation in LP-DFD are identified as those with a diagonal generator. To cater to other constellations, we propose a low-complexity DFD scheme by inserting decision-feedback symbols into the metric of multiple-symbol differential detection.
