Abstract

An inner space-time code, i.e., one that is complemented by an outer error-control code, calls for vastly different design strategies than a space-time code that stands alone. This letter investigates the design of a linear inner space-time code for a t-input r-output Rayleigh fading channel by examining its outage capacity, which assumes an idealized outer code. We show that a linear space-time code with rate R
