چکیده
Absfracl-Multiple antenna radios are recently the subject of much research due to the significant improvements they offer in throughput and reliability in rireless communications. Research in the field of space-time coding has led to the design of modulation techniques offering improved performance. Their performance, although promising in simulations, needs to be studied in real wireless channels due to the inability to accurately model all possible wireless channel conditions that might be seen in practice. With this motivation, a range of experiments were conducted to measure the performance ofsome of the well-know,n space-time codes in literature over real channels and under implementation impairments. This paper discusses the testbed setup for the experiments and present the results of field trials conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles.

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...

We study the space of all continuous fuzzy-valued functions from a space $X$ into the space of fuzzy numbers $(mathbb{E}sp{1},dsb{infty})$ endowed with the pointwise convergence topology. Our results generalize the classical ones for continuous real-valued functions. The field of applications of this approach seems to be large, since the classical case allows many known devices to be fi...
متن کاملSpace-Time Coding for UMTS. Performance Evaluation in Combination with Convolutional and Turbo Coding
Space-time codes provide both diversity and coding gain when using multiple transmit antennas to increase spectral efficiency over wireless communications systems. Space-time block codes have already been included in the standardization process of UMTS in conjunction with conventional channel codes (convolutional and turbo codes). We discuss different encoding and decoding strategies when trans...

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...
