We analyze Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) coded modulation systems where either Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation (BICM) with spatial multiplexing or concatenation of channel coding and Space-Time Block Codes (STBCs) is used at transmission, assuming iterative Turbo-like decoding at reception. We optimize SeriallyConcatenated Low-Density Generator Matrix (SCLDGM) codes (a subclass of LDPC...

An interference alignment (IA) scheme for interference channels was recently proposed to achieve the maximum degrees of freedom (DoF). Although most studies of IA focus on network throughput, that is, DoF, reliability in terms of diversity order is also an important performance measure. In this study, interference cancellation (IC) scheme based on Alamouti code in the multi-access scenario is a...

The quantities in (1) and additional definitions for discrete-time estimation/decoding are T : Symbol duration. p(t) : Truncated raised cosine pulse with support [0, NpT ) sec. τk : Relative propagation delay from sensor k to collector. δωk : Frequency offset of sensor k L.O. from collector L.O. in Hz. sk(m) ∈ CZ : Space-time code symbol. n(t) : Complex Gaussian noise with spectral density 2N0....

Explicit codes are constructed that achieve the diversity-multiplexing gain tradeoff of the cooperative-relay channel under the dynamic decode-andforward protocol for any network size and for all numbers of transmit and receive antennas at the relays. A particularly simple code construction that makes use of the Alamouti code as a basic building block is provided for the single relay case. Alon...

One of the most efficient methods of exploiting space diversity for portable wireless devices is cooperative communication utilizing space-time block codes. In cooperative communication, users besides communicating their own information, also relay the information of other users. In this paper we investigate a scheme where cooperation is achieved using two methods, namely, distributed space-tim...

This paper presents a Space Time Block Code structure using spread spectrum in multi user context employing code division multiple access (CDMA). This communication system can guarantee full rate full diversity because its based on the famous Alamouti code using two transmit antennas and two receive antennas. The originality of this paper consists on extending the use of ST block codes to a mul...

In this paper, a new class of space-time block codes achieving full-rate and full spatial diversity for QAM is proposed when using any odd transmit antennas over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. Like the conventional A-ST-CR codes [10], the proposed codes are constructed by serially concatenating the constellation-rotating precoders [7]-[9] with the Alamouti scheme [3]. Computer simulatio...

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 a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing with Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OFDM / OQAM) is a multicarrier modulation scheme that can be considered as an alternative to the conventional Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) for transmission over multipath fading channels. In this paper, we investigate the combination of the OFDM/OQAM with Alamouti...

The present work is a discussion on the performance analysis of Modified Cooperative Subchannel Allocation (CSA) Algorithms which is used in Alamouti Decoded and Forward (Alamouti DF) Relaying Protocol for wireless multi-user Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) systems. In addition, the performance of approximate Symbol Error Rate (SER) for the Alamouti DF Relaying Protoco...
