Abstract

An arrangement where a transmitter has multiple transmitting antennas that simultaneously transmit, and where the signals delivered to each transmitting antenna is processed by a space-time transmitter based on the side information that is related to the channel coefficients found between the transmitting antennas and multiple receiving antennas. The receiver's receiving antennas simultaneously receive the transmitted signals, and the signal from each receiving antenna is processed by the space-time receiver to extract the information symbols that have been transmitted. Alternative systems are possible, such as those employing frequency or code diversity, as well as those employing only one transmit antenna and multiple receive antennas (or visa versa).
