Abstract :
In this paper, a new low-complexity decoder for space-time block codes that solves the problem of channel performance in fading rates is proposed. The proposed decoder is linear on the received signals and preserves the orthogonality of the code at any fading rate, translating the effect of higher fading rates into loss in diversity order.
