STBC (Space-Time Block Coding)

Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) is a technique used in wireless communication to improve the reliability of data transmission. It works by encoding information across multiple antennas and transmitting it simultaneously. This redundancy helps to combat issues like signal fading and interference. Essentially, STBC takes the same message and spreads it out over different paths, allowing the receiver to gather more information and reconstruct the original signal more accurately. As a result, STBC enhances the performance and coverage of wireless networks, making them more robust, especially in challenging environments.
