Abstract

In this paper, the error probability of orthogonal space-time block coding (STBC) is considered in correlated flat fading channels. The approach is based on an equivalent scalar AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) channel. Closed form error probability expressions are derived for PSK/PAM/QAM on correlated fading channels.
