A Comparison between Alamouti Transmit Diversity and (Cyclic) Delay Diversity for a DRM+ System
نویسنده
چکیده
DRM+ is a new system for digital boadcasting in the FM band which is going to be specified in the near future. Due to its narrowband nature, flat fading is a severe problem for that system. To reduce this difficulty, one may use transmit antenna diversity. We discuss two different approaches and their practical use for the system under consideration.

Combining Transmit Diversity Schemes for Multicarrier Systems
In this paper, we present a synchronous multicarrier code division multiple access scheme for the uplink. We apply interleaved and block spreading schemes for Rayleigh and Rice fading channels. Enhancing diversity in the uplink is feasible by applying transmit diversity schemes. Therefore, we compare cyclic delay diversity (CDD) with the Alamouti scheme. Increasing the number of transmit antenn...

Abstract In [1], a new transmit diversity scheme for channels with intersymbol interference was introduced. The scheme is a generalization of the space-time block coding introduced by Alamouti in [3] to channels with intersymbol interference. The scheme uses two transmit and one receive antenna and achieves the same diversity benefit at the user terminal as can be achieved by using one transmit...

We address the problems at the most critical area in a cellular multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) network, namely, the cell border. At a mobile terminal the diversity can be increased by using transmit diversity techniques such as cyclic delay diversity (CDD) and space-time coding like Alamouti. We transfer these transmit diversity techniques to a cellular environment. Theref...

Alamouti code is a simple space-time code that can be used for transmit diversity systems. This is a class of easily decoded space-time codes that achieve full diversity order in Rayleigh fading channels. Alamouti code exist only for certain numbers of transmit antennas and do not provide array gain like diversity techniques that exploit transmit channel information. When Channel State Informat...
