| Abstract | We provide a precise framework to study subspace codes for non-coherent communications in wireless networks. To this end, an analog operator channel is defined with inputs and outputs being subspaces of $\C^n$. Then a certain distance is defined to capture the performance of subspace codes in terms of their capability to recover from interference and rank-deficiency of the network. We also study the robustness of the proposed model with respect to additive noise. Furthermore, we propose a new approach to construct subspace codes in the analog domain, also regarded as Grassmann codes, by leveraging polynomial evaluations over finite fields together with characters associated to finite fields that map their elements to the unit circle in the complex plane. The constructed codes, referred to as character-polynomial (CP) codes, are shown to perform better compared to other existing constructions of Grassmann codes in terms of the trade-off between the rate and the normalized minimum distance, for a wide range of values for $n$. | ||
