    Abstract:
    The pre-coded STBC transmission is an effective scheme in order to improve performance of OFDM under frequency selective fading channels. However, its performance degrades very severe frequency selective fading. In this paper, an iterative detection scheme of the pre-coded STBC OFDM scheme is proposed and good performance is confirmed by computer simulation.

    In this paper, we give a family of orthogonal space time block codes (STBC), which is so called universal rotated STBC. The constructed codes include all existing STBC cases, and give several extended results suitable for different modulations, such as MPSK or M-QAM. The results show that the proposed codes can be widely applied for MIMO transmission, quasi-orthogonal designs and the orthogonal set partition of the space time trellis codes (STTC), e.g., super orthogonal STTC.

    A family of space-time block codes (STBCs) that achieve full rate and full diversity is designed with a simple approach by making use of Hadamard transforms. Simulations show the good performance of the proposed STBC.

    This paper analyzes the performance simulated of the space-time block coding orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (STBC-OFDM) system under different channel conditions after studying the STBC-OFDM system. From that it can be found that the BER performance of STBC-OFDM system is much better than the OFDM system without using Space-time coded.

    A class of rate-one space-time block codes (STBC) allowing the decoding of transmitted symbols into four groups is recently proposed by Yuen, Guan and Tjhung. This code is called four-group decodable STBC (4Gp-STBC). In this paper, the equivalent channel of 4Gp-STBC is derived and a new method to decode 4Gp-STBC based on sphere decoders is presented. Furthermore, the performance of 4Gp-STBC is analyzed. A New signal rotation method is proposed, which performs better than the existing one.

    The iteratively decoded space-time trellis codes (ISTTC) have been introduced in Junghoon Suh and Mostofa K. Howlader (March 2004). In this article, we propose to combine a differential space-time block code (DSTBC) scheme with ISTTC, and show that an acceptable performance can be achieved over flat fading channels without channel estimation and error correction codes. When the space-time trellis code (STTC) is combined with space-time block codes (STTC-STBC), it provides an improved BER over the system with STTC only. Here, we also present an iteratively decoded STTC-STBC (ISTTC-STBC) to improve the BER performance, and compare the performance of ISTTC-STBC with ISTTC-DSTBC. The design methodologies of ISTTC-DSTBC and ISTTC-STBC are described in detail, where the extrinsic information shared between two constituent decoders and computing branch metrics using soft-outputs out of DSTBC or STBC are studied thoroughly. The performance of these proposed schemes are shown via simulation.

    It is well known that Space-Time Block Codes from orthogonal designs (O-STBC) are linearly Maximum-Likelihood (ML) decodable. However there are not full rate complex O-STBC designs except for two transmit-antennas. Recently, one class of minimum-decoding-complexity STBCs (MDC-STBC) have been studied

    The schemes about orthogonal STBC codes, quasi-orthogonal STBC codes, and STBC codes using constellation rotations are introduced in this paper. Simulation results and performance comparison of these schemes are presented. In the same condition, the STBC code providing full diversity and full rate outperforms all other codes compared.

    This paper proposed space-time block codes (STBC) based on Galois theory. These codes are linear, which can be decoded via the sphere decoding algorithm or any interference cancellation algorithm. The simulation results show that the performance of the space-time block code system based on Galois theory is better than that of the orthogonal space-time block code system and the uncoded system. When the SNR increases, the difference between the BER of the orthogonal STBC system and that of the STBC system in this paper is increased. Also, the difference between the BER of the uncoded system and that of the STBC system in this paper increases with the SNR.

    For two-transmitter systems, there are (full-rate) orthogonal space-time block codes (O-STBC). For four-transmitter systems, there are (full-rate) quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes (QO-STBC). The orthogonality of such codes makes a decoder attractively simple with only little compromise of optimality of coding performance. A complete family of O-STBC is well understood. But for QO-STBC, only ad hoc examples have been reported in the literature. In this paper, we provide a systematic construction of a complete family of 4 /spl times/ 4 QO-STBC. We show that there are only three independent QO-STBC and all other QO-STBC can be constructed by trivial variations of any three independent codes. Indeed, all 4 /spl times/ 4 QO-STBC in the literature can be constructed in such a way. Furthermore, we show a connection between three independent QO-STBC and the Hurwitz-Radon families of matrices. A complete set of the HR families of size four is also discovered.

    Recently several STBC designs were proposed for MIMO systems with linear receivers. In this paper, we propose a new design of high-rate STBC with linear receivers. Compared to the overlapped Alamouti code (OAC) recently proposed by Shang and Xia, the new STBC has a higher symbol rate without guarantee of achieving full diversity. To achieve the same rate, the new STBC has only a half of the block length (code delay) of the OAC. Simulation results show that in comparison with some existing codes for a given rate the proposed STBC can give a better outage probability performance.
