Abstract

In this paper, a class of quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes (Q-STBC) is proposed for systems with two transmit antennas and three time slots, where the Alamouti code is not applicable due to the odd time slots. The proposed Q-STBC codes achieve rate one and full diversity with low complexity maximum likelihood decoding. The Q-STBC design also shows excellent properties in other practical aspects, such as the compatibility with the single antenna transmission mode, low power fluctuation, and low receiver decoding and transmitter encoding complexity.
