چکیده
This work explores the performances of Space-Time and Space Frequency Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with simple two branches transmit diversity scheme. The combination of multiple-antenna and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) provides reliable communications over frequency selective fading channels. We focus on the application of space-time block codes (STBC) and space-frequency block codes (SFBC) in OFDM systems over time-varying and frequency-selective channels. SFBC transmitter shows superior performance in fast varying channels while STBC shows better performance in frequency selective channels. A switching technique is presented that selects an appropriate transmission scheme between the STBC and SFBC assuming Rayleigh fading model.

A Simple Adaptive Switching Scheme between STBC-OFDM and SFBC-OFDM Systems
In this letter, we propose a simple adaptive switching scheme to enhance the performance of space-time/frequency block coded OFDM systems (STBC/SFBC-OFDM). Since STBC-OFDM and SFBCOFDM undergo severe performance degradation in timeand frequencyselective fading channels, respectively, performance enhancement can be achieved by switching between STBC-OFDM and SFBC-OFDM over a continuously varying...
متن کاملSpace frequency block codes and code division multiplexing in OFDM systems
Abstract— This paper investigates different diversity concepts for OFDM systems. These are space frequency block codes (SFBC) and code division multiplexing (CDM). The performance of both and of combinations of both is compared for coded OFDM systems in a Rayleigh fading channel. The SFBCs and CDM applied in this paper have in common that they have no rate loss and thus do not decrease the band...
