Patent ID: 8675471

Claim:
A transmitting method based on a space-time/space-frequency code, comprising: obtaining information symbols to be transmitted; transmitting the information symbols according to the space-time/space-frequency code matrix; wherein the space-time/space-frequency code matrix is capable of being divided into at least two sub matrixes, the at least two sub matrixes comprises one of the group consisting of: (a) at least two Toeplitz matrixes, and (b) the Toeplitz matrixes and at least one zero matrix, wherein the Toeplitz matrixes correspond to nonzero elements in a given Orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding (OSTBC) matrix respectively, and when the OSTBC matrix comprises a zero element, the zero matrix is corresponding to the zero element in the OSTBC matrix; wherein the given OSTBC matrix is an OSTBC matrix based on K and K′, K is a number of groups into which at least two transmitter antennas are classified, and K′ is a number of groups into which the information symbols are classified; and the Toeplitz matrixes are constructed according to a number of transmitter antennas in a transmitter antenna group.
