Abstract

Several aspects of the design and optimization of coded multiple-antenna transmission diversity methods for slowly time-varying channels are explored from an information-theoretic perspective. Both optimized vector-coded systems, which can achieve the maximum possible performance, and suboptimal scalar-coded systems, which reduce complexity by exploiting suitably designed linear precoding, are investigated. The achievable rates and associated outage characteristics of these spatial diversity schemes are evaluated and compared, both for the case when temporal diversity is being jointly exploited and for the case when it is not. Complexity and implementation issues more generally are also discussed.
