A Space-Time Block Code (STBC) in K symbols (variables) is called g-group decodable STBC if its maximumlikelihood decoding metric can be written as a sum of g terms such that each ...
— For the number of transmit antennas N = 2a the maximum rate (in complex symbols per channel use) of all the Quasi-Orthogonal Designs (QODs) reported in the literature is a 2aâˆ...
It is well known that Space-Time Block Codes (STBCs) obtained from Orthogonal Designs (ODs) are singlesymbol-decodable (SSD) and from Quasi-Orthogonal Designs (QODs) are double-sy...
