Optimal Space-Time Block Code Designs Based on Irreducible Polynomials of Degree Two

Abstract: The main of this paper is to prove that in terms of normalized density, a space-time block code based on an irreducible quadratic polynomial over the Eisenstein integers is an optimal space-time block code compared with any quadratic space-time block code over the ring of integers of imaginary quadratic fields. In addition we find the optimal design of space-time block codes based on an irreducible quadratic polynomial over some rings of imaginary quadratic fields.
