Abstract :
This letter investigates using an error correction code (ECC) to construct the space-time block code (STBC). Block ECCs over several Galois fields are considered. The resulting STBCs have significantly higher throughput and better performance than orthogonal STBCs, at the cost of increased decoding complexity.
