Abstract

In this correspondence, we show that the problem of designing efficient multiple-antenna signal constellations for fading channels can be related to the problem of finding packings with large minimum distance in the complex Grassmannian space. We describe a numerical optimization procedure for finding good packings in the complex Grassmannian space and report the best signal constellations found by this procedure. These constellations improve significantly upon previously known results
