Abstract
Stacked Alamouti coding in MIMO wireless communication systems was analyzed through equivalent channel.We derive an upper bound on the portion of the ergodic capacity that the stacked Alamouti scheme can achieve, which is dependent on the ratio of number of transmit antennas to that of receive antennas in the high signal-to-noise ratio regime. As a conclusion, it is shown that the stacked Alamouti scheme can approach the channel capacity as long as the number of transmit antennas is no less than two times that of receive antennas.
