Construction of full diversity space-time codes based on half-rate invertible linear binary codes

In this paper, a novel approach to construct full diversity space-time codes from half-rate invertible linear binary codes is proposed. The proposed construction benefits from the bijective relation between information and redundancy bits to exploit the whole spatial diversity. It also uses the principle of separation between threads to guarantee the full spatial diversity. Thanks to such construction, we are able to design full diversity space-time codes from half-rate invertible linear binary codes whatever the modulation type.
