Comparison of Different Transmit Diversity Space- Time Code Algorithms

چکیده
Recently, it has been proven that employing more than one transmit antenna increases channel throughput, and different strategies have been developed in order to achieve transmit diversity advantage. Space-time codes combine coding gain with diversity gain and preserve orthogonality between antennas, whereas BLAST (Bell Labs Layered Space-Time Architecture) technology transmits different independent bitstreams from each transmit antenna and employs an interference nulling-interference cancelling decoding algorithm. In this paper we present a comparison of these transmit diversity techniques in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) for a MultiInput Multi-Output (MIMO) channel, specifically we compare space-time block codes (STBC), space-time trellis codes (STTC) and BLAST architecture).

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...
متن کاملComparison of BER for BPSK & QAM modulation with Alamouti STBC
On comparing the error performance of various space-time block codes(STBC) for the quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels and with different modulation techniques as BPSK,QAM, it is observed that the slope of BER is steepening as Eb/N0 is increased. It is also observed that a higherorder diversity is obtained with a larger number of transmit antennas, that is, steepening the slope of BER curves ...

In rich scattering environments, wireless systems with multiple transmit and receive antennas (MIMO) offer large capacity gains. They are in general based on a parallel transmission of 1 ≤ M ≤ NT signal steams called layers (NT is the number of transmit antennas). If the channel is not known to the transmitter the best strategy would be to exploit transmit diversity for each layer. This ensures...

Abstract—Diversity embedded space-time code can be used to simultaneously transmit data streams with different diversity levels embedded. However, the decoding complexity of diversity embedded code is high due to the lack quasi-orthogonal (groupdecodable) code structure. In this paper, group-decodable diversity embedded space-time code is proposed and constructed systematically for the first ti...
