Abstract

This paper proposes a full-rate space-time code selection technique for multiple transmitter antenna diversity systems. The technique uses orthogonal space-time codes for transmitting with two antennas and a quasi-orthogonal space-time code when transmitting with four antennas. We selected the space-time code and the transmitter antennas by comparing the equivalent SISO channels with a set of predetermined threshold levels, found off-line as a function of the Doppler frequency. The performance of the proposed technique was evaluated using the error rate and the spectral efficiency, outperforming other existing techniques.
