Abstract

In a recent paper [1], Garg et al. present an expression for the exact decoding error probability (DEP) of square orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) with imperfect channel estimation. We show that their DEP expression is only asymptotically correct and point out how to obtain the exact result for arbitrary signal-to-noise ratio.
