Abstract
By studying the super-orthogonal space-time coding designs for 2 transmit antennas and superquasi orthogonal space-time coding designs for 4 transmit antennas, a novel super-orthogonal space-time coding design for 4 transmit antennas is proposed. By exploiting the inherent structure association between OSTBC and QOSTBC, the proposed schemes can obtain the full-rate and good performance while keeping the coding complexity as super-orthogonal space-time coding schemes for 2 transmit antennas. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed schemes outperforms the existing super-quasi orthogonal space-time coding schemes by almost 2 dB.
