Analysis of space-time coding in correlated fading channels

Space-time signal design for time-correlated Rayleigh fading channels

The existing constructions of space-time codes or modulation have mainly focused on two ideal situations: either quasi-static or rapid fading channels. In this paper, we consider the design of robust space-time modulation for time-correlated Rayleigh fading channels. We show that the space-time signals of square size achieving full diversity in quasi-static fading channels can also achieve the ...

Turbo Coding in Correlated Fading Channels

Turbo Code research has primarily focused on applying the codes to Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels, and to Rayleigh fading channels where the fading parameter was fixed over the duration of a symbol. Turbo Coding has reached within 1dB of the Shannon limit in AWGN channels, and within 2dB of the Shannon limit in slow fading Rayleigh channels. However, in mobile radio a primary app...

Robust Spa e-Time Coding for Correlated Rayleigh Fading Channels

Performance and design of space-time coding in fading channels

The pairwise-error probability upper bounds of space–time codes (STCs) in independent Rician fading channels are derived in this letter. Based on the performance analysis, novel code design criteria for slow and fast Rayleigh fading channels are developed. It is found that in fading channels, STC design criterion depends on the value of the possible diversity gain of the system. In slow fading ...

Efficient Simulation of Space-Time Correlated MIMO Mobile Fading Channels

Simulation of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels, with crosscorrelated subchannels, is of paramount importance in performance evaluation of space-time techniques in multiantenna systems. This paper focuses on four methods to simulate several spatio-temporally crosscorrelated stationary complex Gaussian processes: the spectral representation method, the sampling theorem method...
