Spacetime code (STC)[1]
Description
Code designed for wireless transmission of information (via, e.g., radio waves) such that the sender can send multiple times from multiple locations. A spacetime code uses a modulation scheme to encode a message into signals that are sent at different times through different antennas, thereby utilizing both spatial and temporal (i.e., spacetime) degrees of freedom.
Notes

Child
- Spacetime block code (STBC) — Spacetime codes also use spatial and temporal diversity, but do not necessarily use blocks as codewords.
Cousins
- Codeword stabilized (CWS) code — CWS codes have been considered in the context of spacetime replication of quantum data [4][5], while STCs are designed to replicate classical data.
- Homological bosonic code — Homological CV codes have been considered in the context of spacetime replication of quantum data [4][5], while STCs are designed to replicate classical data.
