  • Space-time coding digital transmission systems and methods
    Patent number: 7477696
    Abstract: The invention concerns digital signal transmission. In particular, it concerns high speed transmission using layered space-time encoding architecture adapted to all types of propagation channels. The invention therefore proposes a digital signal transmission system comprising: a space-time encoder (1) receiving a flow of data to be transmitted d[i], formatting this data d[i] as symbol vectors v[k] of dimension P(P>1) and generating said symbol vectors v[k], and modulator-transmitters {2p}(1?p?P), each receiving one component of the symbol vector m[k] output from the space-time encoder (1), applying the constellation of a predetermined modulation to said symbol mp[k], and converting the symbol obtained ap[k] into a signal sp(t) presenting time diversity transmitted on said antenna (24p) connected to said transmitter (2p).
