I am interested to learn Space Time code. Is there any understandable books/ lecture notes/ thesis for beginners?
What is Space Time code? Is there any good book/thesis to understand the subject?

1Two pieces of advice: You might want to accept some of the answers to your previous questions; and on an internet forum where people occasionally ask about wacky stuff, when you talk about learning the space-time code, I'd provide enough context for people to tell that that's less wacky than it sounds. :-) – 2011-07-23

5There's a Wikipedia article with references. Also, _please accept some answers to your previous questions._ – 2011-07-23

0@Qiaochu, other moderators. On second thought my answer comes disturbingly close to advertising books written by close colleagues. I really don't know, whether that is appropriate here. Should I delete this "answer"? – 2011-07-23

0@user12290: And now I see that you have *unaccepted* those answers. Why? Did those answers all of a sudden *stop* being useful? Even if you don't want to accept them, you can vote on answers by clicking the arrows on the upper left of each post. – 2011-07-25

For a beginning engineer I shamelessly recommend this book written by my former colleagues. It does not get into some of the newer aspects of the theory such as DMT-optimality and multiuser theory. If you are an engineering major interested in the applications of algebraic number theory in this area, but don't really know much about it, then Frederique Oggier, Emanuele Viterbo, Algebraic Number Theory And Code Design For Rayleigh Fading Channels is a quick read.
==============
Edit/addendum:
For DMT-stuff there is more than enough material available at David Tse's homepage

1No shame indeed in linking to colleagues' books, but maybe it's better to [link to Amazon...](http://www.amazon.com/dp/0470845422) – 2011-07-23

0@J.M. However the Amazon link seems to be to the hardcover \$155 edition, while the other comes in below \$30. – 2011-07-23

0@Ross: Well, it's still contingent that you shop around for better prices even after you see something neat on Amazon... :) – 2011-07-23

0Thank you very much. I will start of your mentioned book. – 2011-07-24

0Ok. Thanks for the information. – 2011-08-01

0Fixed a rotten link. Sorry about the bump. – 2018-05-21

0While you're fixing links, the other one was also broken, but by comparison with archive.org I'm pretty confident I've got the right replacement. – 2018-05-21

0Thanks @PeterTaylor. That's the right book. I think prof Tse used have more freely downloadable material on his homepage, but your link will do nicely. – 2018-05-21
