A space–time code (STC) is a method employed to improve the reliability of data transmission in wireless communication systems using multiple transmit antennas. STCs rely on transmitting multiple, redundant copies of a data stream to the receiver in the hope that at least some of them may survive the physical path between transmission and reception in a good enough state to allow reliable decoding.
Space time codes may be split into two main types:
Space–time trellis codes (STTCs) distribute a trellis code over multiple antennas and multiple time-slots and provide both coding gain and diversity gain.
Space–time block codes (STBCs) act on a block of data at once (similarly to block codes) and also provide diversity gain but doesn't provide coding gain.
Space–time line codes (STLCs) and STBCs are symmetric with respect to the transmit-and-receive processes, like a maximum-ratio combining (MRC) and maximum-ratio transmission (MRT). The STLC scheme provides full diversity gain even when there is no full channel state information (CSI) at the receiver.
STC may be further subdivided according to whether the receiver knows the channel impairments. In coherent STC, the receiver knows the channel impairments through training or some other form of estimation. These codes have been studied more widely, and division algebras over number fields have now become the standard tool for constructing such codes.
In noncoherent STC the receiver does not know the channel impairments but knows the statistics of the channel. In differential space–time codes neither the channel nor the statistics of the channel are available.

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output ou MIMO (« entrées multiples, sorties multiples » en français) est une technique de multiplexage utilisée dans les radars, réseaux sans fil et les réseaux mobiles permettant des transferts de données à plus longue portée et avec un débit plus élevé qu’avec des antennes utilisant la technique SISO (Single-Input Single-Output). Alors que les anciens réseaux Wi-Fi ou les réseaux GSM standards utilisent une seule antenne au niveau de l'émetteur et du récepteur, MIMO utilise plusieurs antennes tant au niveau de l'émetteur (par exemple un routeur) que du récepteur (par exemple un PC portable ou un smartphone).

Space–time block coding is a technique used in wireless communications to transmit multiple copies of a data stream across a number of antennas and to exploit the various received versions of the data to improve the reliability of data transfer. The fact that the transmitted signal must traverse a potentially difficult environment with scattering, reflection, refraction and so on and may then be further corrupted by thermal noise in the receiver means that some of the received copies of the data may be closer to the original signal than others.
Reliability of any communication technology, such as wireless channels, can be measured by the probability of incorrect decoding of a sent message. The lower is this probability the more reliable is t
