Abstract

This paper provides analysis of binary space-time block codes with optimum decoding for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems with one-bit receive signal quantization. Exhaustive investigation of short binary space-time block codes with unity code rate shows some remarkable results. For instance, almost all codes perform poorly, except one optimum channeldependent code which can achieve large coding gain. There are no binary 2×2 space-time block codes (including the Alamouti codes) which can achieve transmit diversity without some channel knowledge. However, there exist a few semi-universal codes which are optimum for almost all MIMO channels and can be selected by feedback from the receiver. Design of longer and more powerful codes remains a challenge and requires further research activity.
