“…5-6 compare the performances of the proposed GSTBC-SM systems to those of conventional GSTBC and SSK systems at the throughput of 4 bpcu. To achieve 4 bpcu, (N t , K, M, T ) = (16,4,4,4), and (16, 2, 2, 2) are employed for Q-OSTBC-SM, Alamouti-SM [36], while (N t , K, M, T ) = (4, 4, 16, 4), and (2, 2, 16, 2) are employed for Q-OSTBC and Alamouti. Since it is difficult for OSTBC-SM and OSTBC systems to attain 4 bpcu, the performance of them are not included for comparison.…”
