Simplified processing for high spectral efficiency wireless communication employing multi-element arrays.

We investigate robust wireless communication in high-scattering propagation environments using multi-element antenna arrays (MEAs) at both transmit and receive sites. A simplified, but highly spectrally efficient space-time communication processing method is presented. The user's bit stream is...
