—In this paper, we propose two new systematic ways to construct amicable orthogonal designs (AOD), with an aim to facilitate the construction of power-balanced orthogonal space-time block codes (O-STBC) with favorable practical attributes. We also show that an AOD can be constructed from an Amicable Family (AF), and such a construction is crucial for achieving a power-balanced O-STBC. In additi...

The combination of CDMA and space time block coding (STBC) has been proposed for indoor environment where the delay spreads are very small and the channel is flat fading. However, these schemes are not valid for the outdoor situation where the delay spreads are significantly large and the channel is frequency selective fading. Therefore, in our paper, we propose CDMA with space-time block codin...

Quasi-orthogonal space–time block codes (QO-STBCs) are a powerful code family designed for more than two transmit antennas. In contrast to their orthogonal counterparts designed for the same number of transmit antennas, QO-STBCs are able to provide full-rate transmission rate. While original QO-STBCs enjoy only a partial diversity, the recently proposed rotated versions of QO-STBCs achieve the ...

We document the performance of space–time block codes [13], [14], which provide a new paradigm for transmission over Rayleigh fading channels using multiple transmit antennas. Data is encoded using a space–time block code, and the encoded data is split into n streams which are simultaneously transmitted using n transmit antennas. The received signal at each receive antenna is a linear superposi...

Space-time coding is an efficient technique to exploit transmitting and receiving diversities for wireless channels. One of the key components in the design of receivers for space-time codes is channel estimation. For the block codes based on orthogonal design proposed by Alamouti and Tarokh, a new class of pilot assisted channel estimation schemes are presented where pilot symbols are superimp...
