Abstract

Figure 23.1 shows the principle block diagram of a MIMO transmitter with space-time encoding. The incoming bit sequence b(n) is fed into the QAM mapper, which periodically maps \(\kappa \) consecutive bits to a QAM symbol \(c(k')\), constituting a \(2^{\kappa }\)-ary QAM. b(n) may contain redundancy bits from a forward error correction encoder, Friedrichs (Error Control Coding. Springer, Berlin, 2017 [1]), Richardson and Urbanke (Modern Coding Theory. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2008 [2]), Moon (Error Correction Coding - Mathematical Methods and Algorithms. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2008 [3]).
