Cyclic division algebras: a tool for space--time coding.(Brief article)
Jan 01, 2007; Oggier, Frederique ... Abstract Multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver ends of a wireless digital transmission channel may increase both data rate and reliability. Reliable high rate transmission over such channels can only be achieved through Space Time coding. Rank and determinant ...
1 Introduction.(Cyclic Division Algebras: A Tool for Space--Time Coding)
Jan 01, 2007; Oggier, Frederiquer ... Algebraic coding has played an important role since the early age of coding theory. Error correcting codes for the binary symmetric channel were designed using fnite felds and codes for the additive white Gaussian channel were designed using Euclidean lattices. The introduction ...
2 The MIMO system model.(Cyclic Division Algebras: A Tool for Space--Time Coding)(multiple-input multiple output)
Jan 01, 2007; Oggier, Frederiquer ... 2.1 Introduction Multiple transmit and multiple receive antennas have emerged as a promising technique for improving the performance of wireless digital transmission systems [25, 58]. The limited resources of a wireless communication system, such as spectrum and power, can be ...
3 An information theoretic perspective.(Cyclic Division Algebras: A Tool for Space--Time Coding)
Jan 01, 2007; Oggier, Frederiquer ... In this chapter, we will see that two main features are important, to ensure the good performance of a coding scheme from an information theoretic point of view: (i) reaching the diversity-multiplexing gain trade-off and (ii) using information lossless codes. We will see that both these ...
4 Cyclic division algebras.(Cyclic Division Algebras: A Tool for Space--Time Coding)
Jan 01, 2007; Oggier, Frederiquer ... This chapter is devoted to the mathematical background necessary for building codes from cyclic division algebras. While introducing the definitions and results that we need, we keep in mind to emphasize the coding applications, alternating the theory with examples. The fist section aims ...
5 Perfect space--time block codes.(Cyclic Division Algebras: A Tool for Space--Time Coding)
Jan 01, 2007; Oggier, Frederiquer ... This chapter is devoted to the definition and construction of perfect Space-Time block codes. We will now assemble the three preceding chapters, using the algebraic techniques presented in Chapter 4, to build Space-Time block codes (STBC) satisfying the design criteria explained in ...
6 New applications and conclusion.(Cyclic Division Algebras: A Tool for Space--Time Coding)
Jan 01, 2007; Oggier, Frederiquer ... In this last chapter, we briefly outline further research directions involving perfect STBCs, namely generalization to wireless networks and applications to coded modulations. 6.1 Coding for Wireless Networks A lot of attention has been paid recently to wireless ...
