A technique for increasing a code rate in a mimo system using virtual channels

摘要

An apparatus with:an encoder for encoding a plurality of data bits into a plurality of code bits;a code bit distributor, in order to at least some of the code bits one or more real spatial channels for the transmission, to assign to and at least some of the code bits to one or more virtual spatial channels to distribute, wherein the to one or more virtual spatial channels distributed or these assigned code bits is ignored, or by a dotted line, with substantially zero energy are transmitted, in order to effectively increase the code rate.
