Balanced codes are obtained by repeating, shuffling and negating the columns of the Alamouti matrix. Recall the Alamouti matrix: Example of 2x3 balanced code:

Istanbul Technical University, Electronics & Communication Engineering Department 2nd COST 289 Workshop, Special Topics on 4G Systems, July 7, 2005, Antalya, Turkey, Page 13 Conclusion Balanced codes with feedback are an efficient way to increase diversity Solely, with one more transmitter antenna and one bit feedback, one can increase the diversity by one Balanced codes are more resilient to feedback errors compared to antenna selection schemes The delay is also minimal, only two time slots are used
