Non-Coherent Space-Time Coding with finite alphabet constraint




We consider the problem of designing Space-Time Codes in the noncoherent case.
Our goal is to construct maximal diversity space-time codewords X, subject to the constraint that the elements of X are taken from a fixed constellation. Using an interpretation of the well-known pairwise error probability for noncoherent receiver in terms of principal angles between subspaces, we consider the construction of non-intersecting subspaces on finite alphabets. and
