Abstract

In this paper, we present a new space-time spreading-multiplexing model for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems relying on a tensor modeling of the transmitted and received signals. At the transmitter, we exploit the core of a PARATUCK-2 tensor model composed of a precoding matrix and two allocation matrices that allow to control the spreading and multiplexing of the data streams across the space dimension (transmit antennas) and time-dimension (time-slots). Different MIMO schemes combining space-time multiplexing and diversity can be derived from the proposed model. The identifiability and uniqueness of the PARATUCK-2 tensor model for the received signal are discussed and subsequently exploited for a joint blind channel estimation and symbol detection. The bit-error-rate performance of different transmit schemes derived from the proposed tensor model is evaluated by means of computer simulations.
