Abstract

Under the assumption of a frequency-flat slow Rayleigh fading channel with multiple transmit and receive antennas, we examine the effects on system performance of imperfect estimation of the channel parameters when the receiver either assumes that the estimate is perfect or uses a proper maximum-likelihood decision metric. An algorithm for the recursive calculation of the maximum-likelihood decision metric is developed for application to trellis space-time codes.
