Space–time code - Fuhz Articles
Visually Impaired Edition.
Space–time code article, this Fuhz page will hopefully provide the answers to the who, what where and why on the Space–time code topic.
At the bottom of the page we often provide links to external documents relating to Space–time code which may also help your research. Every effort is made to ensure the content on this page is as accurate and error free as possible, however whenever researching information that requires the utmost accuracy such as a term paper it is always best to cross reference facts with numerous sources.

A space–time code (STC) is a method employed to improve the reliability of data transmission in wireless communication systems using multiple transmit antennas. STCs rely on transmitting multiple, redundant copies of a data stream to the receiver in the hope that at least some of them may survive the physical path between transmission and reception in a good enough state to allow reliable decoding.
Space time codes may be split into two main types:
STC may be further subdivided according to whether the receiver knows the channel impairments. In coherent STC, the receiver knows the channel impairments through training or some other form of estimation. These codes have been studied more widely because they are less complex than their non-coherent counterparts. In noncoherent STC the receiver does not know the channel impairments but knows the statistics of the channel.4 In differential space–time codes neither the channel nor the statistics of the channel are available.5
