Abstract

For multiple-input multiple-output systems with four receive antennas, conventional space–time line codes (STLCs) have supported code rates of 3/4, 4/7, and 1/2. To provide a wider range of transmission rates, we herein propose a rate-1 STLC for four-receive-antenna systems. We present an encoding method to achieve full rate and devise a simple decoding scheme that does not require full channel state information at the receiver. Assuming a large number of transmit antennas, we analyze the bit error rate performance and demonstrate that the proposed STLC can achieve full spatial diversity.
