An algebraic MIDO-MISO code construction by Oggier, Frederique, Hollanti, Camilla, Roope, Vehkalahti

“…Starting from a space time block code matrix built from a cyclic divisionalgebra, two ways of puncturing the code are presented, resulting in either a well shaped MIDO code, or a MIDO code with some orthonormal columns, yielding fast maximum-likelihood (ML) decodability. The well shaped MIDO code out performs the fast decodable one through simulations, an indication that the shaping property stays an important codede sign criterion. …”
