Abstract

Previous work in mobile wireless communications systems has centered on the use of closed-loop transmit diversity to increase performance in fading channels. Closed-loop transmit diversity methods, which employ feedback of optimal weighting vectors so as to pre-weight transmitted symbols from multiple antennas, suffer from two problems: (1) degradation at high mobile velocities due to limited-rate feedback, and (2) increasing feedback information rate with increasing number of transmit antennas. A method of closed-loop transmit diversity which addresses both of the problems listed above is presented based on the use of unitary transformations for transmitter diversity.
