CONVOLUTIVE CODING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BLOCK TRANSMISSION OF SPATIO-TEMPORAL CODES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SO-CALLED GOLDEN CODE TECHNIQUE

摘要

A method is provided for convolutive coding for the transmission of space-time block codes according to the technique termed Golden Code, in a wireless communication network comprising at least a plurality of transmit antennas. The Golden Code coding is associated with a trellis coded modulation, and the necessary partitioning to the trellis is produced such that, for each partitioning step, a set is multiplied by at least one element from the set Bk (k1) of elements of Az such that: Bk={XAz and |Det(X)|2=2k}, the set , termed infinite Golden Code, being a principal ideal of the ring Az as defined by the Golden Code technique.
