Data is encoded by a channel code and the encoded data is split into n streams that are simultaneously transmitted using n transmit antennas. The received signal at each receive antenna is a linear superposition of the n transmitted signals perturbed by noise.

Performance is shown to be determined by matrices constructed from pairs of distinct code sequences.
