Multigroup ML decodable collocated and distributed space-time block codes
In this paper, collocated and distributed space-time block codes (DSTBCs) which admit multigroup maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding are studied. First, the collocated case is considered and the problem of constructing space-time block codes (STBCs) which optimally tradeoff rate and ML decoding complexity is posed. Recently, sufficient conditions for multigroup ML decodability have been provided in the literature and codes meeting these sufficient conditions were called Clifford unitary weight (CUW) STBCs. An algebraic framework based on extended Clifford algebras (ECAs) is proposed to study CUW STBCs and using this framework, the optimal tradeoff between rate and ML decoding complexity of CUW STBCs is obtained for few specific cases. Code constructions meeting this tradeoff optimally are also provided. The paper then focuses on multigroup ML decodable DSTBCs for application in synchronous wireless relay networks and three constructions of four-group ML decodable DSTBCs are provided. Fina...
