Iterated MIDO space-time code constructions by Markin, Nadya, Oggier, Frederique

“…We consider the problem of designing codes for multiple antenna channels, with 4 transmit antennas and two receive antennas, using as code design full diversity and fast decodability. We present an iterated construction, which allows us to start with any algebraic 2 × 2 space-time code, and map it to a 4 × 4 MIDO code, for which a criterion for full diversity is available. …”
