Design of New Concatenated Space-Time Block Codes Using Odd Transmit Antennas
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a new class of space-time block codes achieving full-rate and full spatial diversity for QAM is proposed when using any odd transmit antennas over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. Like the conventional A-ST-CR codes [10], the proposed codes are constructed by serially concatenating the constellation-rotating precoders [7]-[9] with the Alamouti scheme [3]. Computer simulations show that for the case of QPSK, the best code in this class achieves approximately 1.5dB larger coding gain than the existing ST-CR code [8], [9] for both 3 and 5 transmit antennas at average SER=10−5 and for the case of 16-QAM, 3dB for 3 transmit antennas. The codes possessing quasi-orthogonal characteristic are also included in this class, allowing simple ML decoding with virtually no performance loss compared to the best code in the class.

A New Approach to Layered Space-Time Code Design
The block layered space-time codes, with the intent of simultaneously achieving high coding gain and high code rate, have been suggested. These codes are based on the design principles of existing layered space-time codes and space-time block codes. The previously known concept of a layer has been modified to a block layer wherein a block layer has more than one antenna transmitting at the same...

We document the performance of space– time block codes, which provide a new paradigm for transmission over Rayleigh fading channels using multiple transmit antennas. It has been shown that a complex orthogonal design that provides full diversity and full transmission rate for a space–time block code is not possible for more than two antennas. The objective of this paper is to provide the descri...

Two new constructions of complex orthogonal space-time block codes of order 8 based on the theory of amicable orthogonal designs are presented and their performance compared with that of the standard code of order 8. These new codes are suitable for multi-modulation schemes where the performance can be sacrificed for a...
متن کاملSpace-Time block codes from orthogonal designs
We introduce space–time block coding, a new paradigm for communication over Rayleigh fading channels using multiple transmit antennas. Data is encoded using a space–time block code and the encoded data is split into n streams which are simultaneously transmitted using n transmit antennas. The received signal at each receive antenna is a linear superposition of the n transmitted signals perturbe...

Space-time block codes with orthogonal structures typically provide full-diversity reception and simple receiver processing. However, full-rate orthogonal codes for complex constellations have not been found for more than two transmit antennas. By using a genetic algorithm, rate1 space-time block codes that accommodate very simple receiver processing at the cost of reduced diversity are designe...
