چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the performance of the downlink of a wideband code division multiple access system employing space-time block coding in a time-varying multipath channel. Space-time block coding is applied at the chip level to improve the robustness of the system to fading envelope variations. Simulation results show that the presented scheme offers considerable diversity gain even for high mobility users transmitting low data rate, outperforming a system employing symbol level space-time block coding in time-variant channels.

Single-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC channels
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...
متن کاملSemi-blind space-time chip equalizer receivers for WCDMA forward link with code-multiplexed pilot
In the forward link of WCDMA systems, the multipath propagation channel destroys the orthogonality of the spreading codes and therefore causes multi-user interference (MUI). In this paper, we propose new training-based and semi-blind space-time chip equalizer receivers for the forward link of WCDMA systems with a continuous code-multiplexed pilot. Both Least-Squares (LS) algorithms for block pr...
متن کاملA Novel Closed-Loop Quasi-Orthogonal Space- Time Block Coding Scheme for Long-Code WCDMA
Quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes (QO-STBCs) are proposed for long-code WCDMA systems which exploit the subspace structure of the long-code WCDMA transmission. QOSTBCs achieve full code rate at the expense of loss in diversity gain. In this paper, we propose a feedback method for QO-STBCS in WCDMA to achieve full diversity and full code rate. The bit error rate (BER) performance for the p...

In this paper, a cooperative algorithm to improve the orthogonal space-timefrequency block codes (OSTFBC) in frequency selective channels for 2*1, 2*2, 4*1, 4*2 MIMO-OFDM systems, is presented. The algorithm of three node, a source node, a relay node and a destination node is formed, and is implemented in two stages. During the first stage, the destination and the relay antennas receive the sym...
