Signal Set Design for Full-Diversity Low-Decoding-Complexity Differential Scaled-Unitary STBCs
The problem of designing high rate, full diversity noncoherent space-time
block codes (STBCs) with low encoding and decoding complexity is addressed.
First, the notion of -group encodable and -group decodable linear STBCs
is introduced. Then for a known class of rate-1 linear designs, an explicit
construction of fully-diverse signal sets that lead to four-group encodable and
four-group decodable differential scaled unitary STBCs for any power of two
number of antennas is provided. Previous works on differential STBCs either
sacrifice decoding complexity for higher rate or sacrifice rate for lower
decoding complexity.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures. To appear in Proceedings of IEEE ISIT 2007, Nice,

Noncoherent Low-Decoding-Complexity Space-Time Codes for Wireless Relay Networks
The differential encoding/decoding setup introduced by Kiran et al, Oggier et
al and Jing et al for wireless relay networks that use codebooks consisting of
unitary matrices is extended to allow codebooks consisting of scaled unitary
matrices. For such codebooks to be used in the Jing-Hassibi protocol for
cooperative diversity, the conditions that need to be satisfied by the relay
matrices and the codebook are identified. A class of previously known rate one,
full diversity, four-group encodable and four-group decodable Differential
Space-Time Codes (DSTCs) is proposed for use as Distributed DSTCs (DDSTCs) in
the proposed set up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first known low
decoding complexity DDSTC scheme for cooperative wireless networks.Comment: 5 pages, no figures. To appear in Proceedings of IEEE ISIT 2007,

An Introduction to Algebraic Geometry codes
We present an introduction to the theory of algebraic geometry codes.
Starting from evaluation codes and codes from order and weight functions,
special attention is given to one-point codes and, in particular, to the family
of Castle codes
