Abstract:
It has been recently shown that, for non-orthogonal space-time block code (STBC), the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) maximum-likelihood (ML) metric can also be decoupled into single-input single-output (SISO) ML metrics for decoding simplification just as for orthogonal STBC. In this work, we utilized the decoupled metrics of a non-orthogonal STBC to derive the symbol error rate (SER) in correlative fading channels and show that, when the non-orthogonal code is generated by converting an orthogonal code using proper precoding, the conversion will improve the SER performance when the MIMO channels are correlated.
