Single-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC Channels

Manuscript Received 17-September-2012 and revised 4November-2012 ISSN: 2322-3936 Accepted on 3-December-2012 Abstract—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 ...

Frequency-domain Equalization of Single Carrier Transmissions over Doubly Selective Channels

Wireless communication systems targeting at broadband and mobile data transmissions commonly face the challenge of fading channels which are both time and frequency selective. Therefore, the design of effective equalization and estimation algorithms for such channels becomes a fundamental problem of communication systems. On one hand, multi-carrier transmission systems demonstrate prominent pot...

Frequency-domain Equalization of Single Carrier Transmissions over Doubly Selective Channels

Wireless communication systems targeting at broadband and mobile transmissions commonly face the challenge of fading channels that are both time and frequency selective.

Although multi-carrier transmissions demonstrate prominent potential to combat doubly selective fading, seve...

An Investigation of MIMO Single-Carrier Frequency-Domain MMSE Equalization

In recent years, the ambition to achieve very high data rates in wireless communication systems has fuelled the study of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architectures and has resulted in the need for more advanced equalization techniques. Currently, the wireless industry is at a point where typical time-domain equalization solutions are becoming too complex to implement in MIMO systems. I...

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...
