Space-time coded transmissions with maximum diversity gains over frequency-selective multipath fading channels

چکیده
In this paper, we study space-time block coding for single carrier block transmissions through frequency selective multipath channels of order L. We prove that maximum diversity of order 2(L + 1) can be achieved with two transmit and one receive antennae. We show that simple linear receiver processing can achieve full antenna diversity gains, and investigate the performance versus complexity tradeoffs that emerge when one exploits also the embedded multipath diversity. Simulation results demonstrate that joint exploitation of multi-antenna and multipath diversities yields significantly enhanced performance in frequency selective multipath channels.

Block space-time antenna precoding/decoding for generalized multicarrier communications in unknown multipath
Transmit antenna diversity has been exploited recently to develop high performance space-time coders and simple maximum-likelihood decoders for transmissions over known at fading channels. Relying on block precoding, this paper develops generalized space-time coded multicarrier transceivers appropriate for wireless propagation over frequency-selective (and perhaps unknown) multipath 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 کاملSpace-time block-coded multiple access through frequency-selective fading channels
Mitigation of multipath fading effects and suppression of multiuser interference (MUI) constitute major challenges in the design of wide-band third-generation wireless mobile systems. Space–time (ST) coding offers an effective transmit-antenna diversity technique to combat fading, but most existing ST coding schemes assume flat fading channels that may not be valid for wide-band communications....

متن کاملA simple and general parameterization quantifying performance in fading channels
We quantify the performance of wireless transmissions over random fading channels at high SNR. The performance criteria we consider are average probability of error and outage probability. We show that as functions of the average SNR, they can both be characterized by two parameters: the diversity and coding gains. They both exhibit identical diversity orders, but their coding gains in dB diffe...
