Performance Improvement with Space-Time Transmit Diversity using Minimum Mean Square Error Combining Equalization in MC-CDMA

چکیده
Abstract In this paper, the space time transmit diversity (STTD) decoding combined with minimum mean square error combining (MMSEC) equalization is presented for MC-CDMA. The STTD decoding weights that minimize the MSE for each subcarrier before despreading are derived. From computer simulation, it is found that the BER performance of STTD with MMSEC equalization using the weights derived in this paper is always better than that with no diversity and provides the same diversity order as 2-antenna receive diversity with MMSEC equalization but with 3dB performance penalty. The uplink BER performance can also be improved with STTD, however the error floor still exists. Keyword mobile radio, MC-CDMA, MMSEC, space time coding, transmit diversity.

متن کاملPerformance of the MIMO-MC-CDMA System with MMSE Equalization
Multipath fading and spectral crowding are the major challenges in dealing higher data rate in future broadband wireless communication system. Multi-carrier Modulation like Multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) can tackle the problem and provide higher data rate for future wireless communication system. However, through a frequency selective fading channel, the subcarriers in MC-...

Frequency-domain equalization (FDE) based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion can provide a better bit error rate (BER) performance than rake combining. To further improve the BER performance, cyclic delay transmit diversity (CDTD) can be used. CDTD simultaneously transmits the same signal from different antennas after adding different cyclic delays to increase the number of equiv...

متن کاملFrequency-Domain Equalization for MC-CDMA Downlink Site Diversity and Performance Evaluation
Similar to direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA), site diversity can be applied to a multicarrier-CDMA (MCCDMA) cellular system to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance for a user with weak received signal power, thus resulting in an increased link capacity. In this paper, the downlink site diversity reception using frequency-domain equalization based on minimum mean sq...
