Abstract :
Space-time codes are designed for efficient transmission using multiple transmit antennas. In this paper, we propose space-time codes which combine the Ungerboeck one-size larger constellation principle with the simple transmit diversity technique of Alamouti (1998). The proposed codes provide several dB additional coding gain over the well-known space-time codes while keeping the complexity almost the same
