Adaptive Space-Time Codes for High Speed Wireless Communications

In this lecture we present a number of adaptive space-time coding techniques, which utilize channel state information at the transmitter. The transmitter either varies powers of individual transmit antennas or the active transmit antenna subset, according to the channel conditions. The error performance expressions for these adaptive systems were derived over an independent Rayleigh MIMO fading channel and verified by simulations.
