Summary: 
Spatial despreading weight based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion is derived for orthogonal space-time spreading transmit diversity (OSTSTD) in a fast fading channel, taking into account the inter-antenna interference (IAI) and the inter-code interference (ICI) caused by orthogonality distortion of time-domain spreading codes. Average bit error rate (BER) performance is theoretically analyzed and confirmed by computer simulation to show that the diversity gain can be obtained even in a fast fading.
