Abstract

In this paper, we propose a family of space-time block codes (STBC) that achieve full diversity when linear receivers, such as zero-forcing (ZF) or minimum mean square error (MMSE) receivers, are used. Our proposed STBC family is a combination/overlay between orthogonal STBC and Toeplitz codes, which can be viewed as a generalization of overlapped Alamouti codes (OAC) and Toeplitz codes recently proposed in the literature. Simulation results show that the newly proposed STBC may outperform the existing codes when linear receivers are used.
