Abstract :
Exact expressions are obtained for the symbol-error probability of orthogonal space-time block codes at the output of the coherent maximum-likelihood decoder in the general case of arbitrary input signal constellation and code. Such expressions are derived for the cases of both deterministic (fixed) and random Rayleigh/Ricean fading channels, and both the two- and higher dimensional constellations.
