Fast-decodable MIDO codes from non-associative algebras (Q906899): Difference between revisions

Summary: By defining a multiplication on a direct sum of \(n\) copies of a given cyclic division algebra, we obtain new unital non-associative algebras. We employ their left multiplication to construct rate-\(n\) and rate-2 fully diverse fast ML-decodable space-time block codes for a Multiple-Input-Double-Output (MIDO) system. We give examples of fully diverse rate-2 \(4 \times 2\), \(6 \times 2\), \(8 \times 2\) and \(12 \times 2\) space-time block codes and of a rate-3 \(6 \times 2\) code. All are fast ML-decodable. Our approach generalises the iterated codes in [\textit{N. Markin} and \textit{F. Oggier}, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 59, No. 9, 5966--5979 (2013; Zbl 1364.94763)].
