Abstract :
This paper describes the high-throughput error correcting space-time block codes. To design STBCs, systematic binary and nonbinary Reed-Solomon (RS) and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) ECCs, embedded error correction codes (ECCs) are considered. The resulting STBCs provide significantly more coding gain and throughputs with the same number of transmit and receive antennas. The cost is the increased decoding complexity. The increased throughput is used to concatenate an external ECC with the STBC for providing a good performance.
