Abstract

Perfect space-time codes are codes for the coherent multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel. They have been called so since they satisfy a large number of design criteria that makes their performances outmatch many other codes. In this correspondence, we discuss the existence of such codes (or more precisely, the existence of perfect codes with optimal signal complexity).
