Abstract :
We present a general performance analysis of space-time block coding (STBC) with fixed and variable data rate for wireless communications. The performance is measured in terms of the tradeoff curves between diversity and spatial multiplexing gains, and in terms of symbol error rate (SER) for QAM constellations. Effective data rate and asymptotic approximation of SER expressions for fixed and adaptive modulation are found.
