Abstract
Complex, rate one, orthogonal block space-time codes (STCs) exist only for two transmit antennas and were proposed by Alamouti (1998). Designing rate-one block STCs for more than two transmit antennas implies giving up orthogonality. For more than two transmit antennas a class of rate one block STCs with a controlled number of interference terms per detected symbol is presented. Conditions that link the matrix formulation of the receive equation to the matrix formulation of a multiuser detection scheme are discussed. The block STCs design problem is closely related to the class of linear real Hadamard codes.
