Abstract

A class of efficient strategies for exploiting transmit antenna diversity on fading channels is developed. These techniques, which we refer to as linear antenna precoding, asymptotically transform a nonselective Rayleigh fading channel into a nonfading, simple white marginally Gaussian noise channel with no intersymbol interference. Linear antenna precoding requires no additional power or bandwidth, and is also attractive in terms of computation, robustness and delay considerations
