Beamforming in combination with space-time diversity for broadband OFDM systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate broadband OFDM systems which apply beamforming in combination with different space–time diversity techniques. Various beamforming scenarios with transmitter and/or receiver sided beamforming are considered. Space–time diversity is obtained by cyclic delay diversity (CDD) in order to artificially shape the spectrum of the received signal. Thus, an advantageous distribution of the errors before a Viterbi channel decoder is obtained. Simulation results for the bit error rate performance are presented and compared for OFDM systems applying different beamforming scenarios and CDD in a Rayleigh fading channel. Maximum ratio combining (MRC) of the signals received on multiple beams/antennas is also taken into account in the performance analysis.

In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...

Recently, in order to improve high speed data transmission and spectral efficiency in wireless communication systems, the combination of OFDM and space-time coding is being actively studied. In order to maximize the system efficiency, the problem of co-channel interference must be solved. One technique to overcome the co-channel interference and to increase the system capacity is to use adaptiv...
متن کاملTransmit Diversity Vs Beamforming for Multi-User OFDM Systems
In an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system, downlink beamforming can be implemented either before IDFT (frequency domain) or after IDFT (time domain) module in a base station transmitter. We denote the former scheme as PreIDFT downlink beamforming, and the latter as Post-IDFT downlink beamforming. In this work, we have compared Pre-IDFT downlink beamforming with Space-Time B...
