Journal of Applied Research and Technology 10(2). México: UNAM.1665-6423http://hdl.handle.net/11117/2913Hybrid MIMO space-time codes combine the benefits of spatial multiplexing with diversity gain to achieve both high spectral efficiency and link reliability. In this paper, we present a family of hybrid codes, known as LD STBC-VBLAST codes, along with a receiver architecture suitable for low-complexity hardware implementation. We show that, under Rayleigh fading, the performance of LD STBC-VBLAST codes is superior to other recently proposed hybrid codes. We also present a technique to derive, from a given propagation scenario, spatially correlated MIMO channel models adequate for space-time coding performance analysis. Using this technique, we evaluate the performance of LD STBC-VBLAST codes under several correlated channels.engLinear Dispersion CodesHybrid Space-time CodesCorrelated MIMO ChannelMIMO SystemsSorted QR Decompositioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article
