Space-time constellations matched to the receiver

The diversity-vs-rate tradeoffs of linear space-time constellations are derived and analyzed under different constraints on the receiver complexity, and the rate scaling with the signal-to-noise ratio (multiplexing gain). New constellations from the threaded algebraic space-time (TAST) signaling framework are matched to the receiver in the sense of achieving the optimal diversity-vs-rate tradeoffs for a given complexity of the sphere decoder or the ing and cancellation receiver.
