Bit-Interleaved Coded Multiple Beamforming With Perfect Coding in Millimeter-Wave MIMO Systems

This letter investigates bit-interleaved coded multiple beamforming (BICMB) with perfect coding in millimeter-wave (mm-wave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems to achieve the maximum diversity gain. Using perfect coding with BICMB enables us to do this. We show that by using BICMB and perfect coding, the diversity gain becomes independent of the number of transmitted data streams and the number of antennas in each remote antenna unit (RAU) at the transmitter and the receiver. The assumption is that the perfect channel state information (CSI) is known at both the transmitter and the receiver. With the assumption of the perfect CSI at the transmitter and the receiver, simulation results show that the use of BICMB with perfect coding results in the diversity gain values predicted by the analysis.
