Overview of Space-Time Wireless Communications in Quasi-static Ryleigh Flat Fading Channels

چکیده
This paper presents a brief overview of spacetime algorithms for communication systems operating in quasi-static Rayleigh flat fading environments. The space-time algorithms exploit a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channel and are designed to meet criteria for optimality under three different channel state information (CSI) conditions: 1) CSI at receiver and transmitter, 2) CSI at receiver but not transmitter, and 3) CSI at neither receiver or transmitter. We analyze the theoretical capacities of the MIMO channels and give the design criteria for space-time codes (STC) under each condition. We briefly describe Grassmannian beamforming (quantized beamforming), space-time block coding (STBC), space-time trellis coding (STTC), and unitary space-time modulation (USTM) for a MIMO system operating at a spectral efficiency of 2 bps/Hz. We show through simulation the comparative performance of each of the space-time transmission schemes presented.

Concatenated space-time block coding with trellis coded modulation in fading channels
Trellis coded modulation (TCM) is a bandwidth efficient transmission scheme that can achieve high coding gain by integrating coding and modulation. This paper presents an analytical expression for the error event probability of concatenated space–time block coding with TCM which reveals some dominant factors affecting the system performance over slow fading channels when perfect interleavers ar...

In this paper, we consider the design of space–time overlays to upgrade single-antenna wireless communication systems to efficiently accommodate multiple transmit antennas. We define the overlay constraint such that the signal transmitted from the first antenna in the upgraded system is the same as that in the single-antenna system. The signals transmitted from the remaining antennas are design...

Diversity combining techniques play an important role in combating the destructive effects of channel fading in wireless communication systems. In this work we present a blind diversity combining technique for Rayleigh flat fading channels based on Hammerstein type filters. We show that the performance of this technique is very close to ideal MRC system which is accepted as an optimum receiver ...

We explore in this paper code division multiple access systems with multiple transmitter and receiver antennae combined with algebraic constellations over a quasi-static multipath fading channel. We first propose a technique to obtain transmit diversity for a single user over quasi-static fading channels by combining algebraic constellations with full spatial diversity and spreading sequences w...
