Improved MIMO performance with non-orthogonal space-time block codes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transmission over Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radio channels is considered. When multiple Rx antennas are present, one may simultaneously increase the rate and improve performance by optimizing transmit diversity, using nonorthogonal space-time block codes. This improves the performance of MIMO systems considerably, especially when the number of Tx and Rx antennas is small. As an example, we consider a 2 Tx, 2 Rx system, and construct a 2 2 non-orthogonal spacetime block code with symbol rate 2, which performs 2.5 dB better than the corresponding BLAST system at BER 10 3 .

Cooperative Orthogonal Space-Time-Frequency Block Codes over a MIMO-OFDM Frequency Selective Channel
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...

An astonishing difference in the performance of non-orthogonal space–time block codes (NOSTBCs) on wireless multiple-input= multiple-output (MIMO) systems compared to one-dimensional block codes operating on single-input=single-output (SISO) channels is derived. Using NOSTBCs, single symbol errors are no longer the only dominating error types, but multiple symbol errors can dominate the error p...

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...

Automatic Repeat-reQuest (ARQ) schemes are extensively used in communication systems and computer networks to achieve reliable transmission. Using space-time codes (STCs) with multiple input multiple output (MIMO) or multiple input single output (MISO) systems is an effective way to combat multipath fading, which is the most severe impairment for wireless communication systems. STCs are designe...
