Abstract :
Exact expressions for the symbol error probability at the output of the maximum likelihood (ML) decoder are obtained for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems coded by orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) over correlated fading channels. Such expressions are derived for the general case of arbitrary input signal constellations and OSTBC, as well as arbitrary correlations of Rayleigh/Rician fading channel coefficients.
