High throughput wideband space-time signaling using channel state information

An orthogonal decomposition of a general wideband space-time multipath channel is derived assuming antenna arrays at both the transmitter and receiver. This decomposition provides a framework for efficiently managing the available space-time channel dimensions using channel state information at the transmitter and receiver. Signaling and receiver designs for high-throughput applications are derived using this decomposition. For a fixed-throughput system, we investigate a power allocation scheme that minimizes the effective bit-error rate. In addition, a strategy to maximize the average throughput is discussed
