In this paper, we present a real-time implementation of 2×1 MIMO system using the Alamouti scheme. The real-time chain is based on the LTE parameters. The testbed is implemented using FieldProgrammable Gate Array (FPGAs) through Xilinx System Generator for DSP. Time-domain synchronization is achieved through a joint maximum likelihood (ML) symbol-time and carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimato...

This paper proposes an efficient full-duplex multiple input multiple output (MIMO) relay in wireless multihop networks. The proposed relay consists of a minimum mean square error (MMSE) filter, a decode-and-forward protocol processor, and a modified Alamouti encoder. In consideration of the tradeoff between performance and complexity, the MMSE filtering is presented to suppress the spatial loop...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract – In wireless communication, multipath propagation results in several fading effect. To equalize such long fading channel traditional single carrier time domain equalization becomes infeasible due to its large computational complexity. Single-carri...

This paper addresses the asymptotic diversity performance of Alamouti transmit diversity technique especially in time-selective fading channels. In particular, a linear quasi-maximum-likelihood (QML) decoding method is employed for the Alamouti transmit diversity system to solve the error floor problem induced by the conventional linear ML decoding method. By judiciously utilizing the derived a...

In this paper, a general Alamouti space time block code structure is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output–orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) in WiMAX systems for 2 X NR antenna configurations. The signal detection technology used in this paper for MIMO-OFDM system is Zero-Forcing Equalization (linear detection technique). The analysis of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) vs ...

Distributed Space-Time Block Codes (DSTBCs) from Complex Orthogonal Designs (CODs) (both square and non-square CODs other than the Alamouti design) are known to lose their single-symbol ML decodable (SSD) property when used in two-hop wireless relay networks using amplify and forward protocol. For such a network, in this paper, a new class of high rate, training-embedded (TE) SSD DSTBCs are con...

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 ...

This paper propose a new multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) signal processing scheme that combines optimum transmit and receive beamforming with the Alamouti space-time block code (STBC) transmission and modifies the decoding process. The scheme uses double antenna array groups to achieve stable performance regardless of direction of arrived (DOA) and angular spread (AS). In a multiuser MIMO ...

Combining differential Alamouti space-time block code (DASTBC) with orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA), this paper introduces a multiuser/multirate transmission scheme, which allows full-rate and full-diversity noncoherent communications using two transmit antennas over frequency-selective fading channels. Compared with the existing differential space-time coded OFDM designs,...
