It is well known that there exists a tradeoff between the diversity gain and the multiplexing gain achievable by a particular MIMO coding scheme. In this report we first look at the optimal trade-off in the infinite signal-to-noise (SNR) regime of both Rayleigh independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) channels and a more general MIMO channel model. We then look at the tradeoff of both S...

Additive mapping scheme represents alternative signals of selected mapping (SLM) by linear combination of signals in time domain for peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. It can reduce the computational complexity considerably without sacrificing PAPR reduction performances especially for the OFDM system with quadrature amplitu...

To achieve cooperative diversity in cognitive radio network, Decode and Forward (DF) protocol is implemented at Cognitive Radios (CRs) using Orthogonal Space Time Block Coding (OSTBC). The 2-hop communication between source and destination is completed with the help of Cognitive Relays (CRs) using Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology within the network. To achieve spatial diversity ...

Multiple Input Double Output (MIDO) asymmetric space-time codes for 4 transmit antennas and 2 receive antennas can be employed in the downlink from base stations to portable devices. Previous MIDO code constructions with low Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding complexity, full diversity and the nonvanishing determinant (NVD) property are mostly based on cyclic division algebras. In this paper, a n...

Multicasting K independent messages via multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels to multiple users where each user already has a subset of messages as side information is studied. A general framework of constructing layered space-time index coding (LSTIC) from a large class of space-time block codes (STBC), including perfect STBC, is proposed. We analyze the proposed LSTIC and show that i...

In resource limited, large scale underwater sensor networks, cooperative communication over multiple hops offers opportunities to save power. Intermediate nodes between source and destination act as cooperative relays. Herein, protocols coupled with space-time block code (STBC) strategies are proposed and analyzed for distributed cooperative communication. Amplify-and-forward type protocols are...

A fixed bandwidth expansion can be achieved either by coding or spreading, while each have different effect on the resultant signal space. Coding increases both Shannon and Fourier bandwidth whereas spreading only increases the Fourier bandwidth. In this document we are looking for the optimum combination of coding and spreading, in a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, that minimizes ...

This paper presents transmission and reception of grey scale image through Rayleigh fading channel. Grey scale image is made up of pixel values. These pixel values are represented by decimal values. For transmission these pixel values are obtained using MATLAB and converted into binary bits. Grey Scale image is transmitted through different systems. Firstly it is transmitted through Alamouti Sp...

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the pairwise error probability (PEP) of distributed space-time codes, in which the source and the relay generate Alamouti space-time code in a distributed fashion. We restrict our attention to the space-time code construction for Protocol III in Nabar et al. (IEEE Journal on Selected Areas Communications 22(6): 1099-1109, 2004). In particular, we derive two c...
