Abstract:

In order to reduce decoding complexity for 8×8 semiorthogonal algebraic spacetime code (SAST), a new encoding and decoding method is proposed for 8×8 SAST code with QAM modulated signals. In the proposed method, through part of the transmitted signals rotated by a certain angle according to the feedback information, the real part and the imaginary part of the first half and the second half of the transmitted signal vectors are mutually orthogonal. So its decoding complexity is proportional to the square of the modulation order. Simulation shows that the decoding complexity is reduced greatly by the proposed code only with 5 bit feedback. 
