Abstract

In general, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channel is correlated by an amount that depends on the propagation environment as well as the polarization of the antenna elements and the spacing between them. In this paper, an exact error probability of orthogonal space-time block codes is considered in spatially correlated Rayleigh fading channels. We derive a general formula for the symbol error probability (SEP) of orthogonal space-time block codes for general PSK/PAM/QAM over spatially correlated Rayleigh fading channels.
