一种全速率准正交空时分组码

空时分组码是发射分集中的一项新技术。通常的空时分组码采用正交设计，虽可以提供全分集增益，却不能保证全速率传输，造成发射端数据的积压。改进的空时分组码采用准正交设计，能够保证数据以全速率传输，但是其性能在低信噪比时优于正交空时分组码，在高信噪比时反而不如前者。提出一种改进的基于准正交设计的空时分组码。通过仿真表明，在不增加译码复杂度的情况下，其性能不论在低信噪比还是高信噪比时都优于正交设计的空时分组码，从而改善了系统性能。

一种基于矩阵旋转的正交空时分组码

Tarokh等人(1999)运用正交设计理论证明了当发射天线数大于2时,不存在可以获得最大分集增益和最大传输速率的复正交空时分组码。而以牺牲正交性和部分分集增益为代价来获得更高传输速率的非正交空时分组码又会使误码性能降低。该文通过对非正交空时分组码信道相关矩阵采用矩阵旋转的方法,提出了一种可以获得最大传输速率、部分分集增益以及接收端线性解码的正交空时分组码。仿真结果表明,该方案与已有典型的空时分组码相比,具有较好的误码性能。

Turbo processing in transmit antenna diversity systems

We consider turbo-trellis-coded transmission over fading multiple-input-multiple-output (M1M0) channels with transmit diversity using space-time block codes. We give a new view on space-time block codes as a transformation of the fading MIMO channel towards a Gaussian single-input-single-output (siso) channel and provide analytical results on the BER of space-time block codes. Furthermore, we describe the concatenation of Turbo-TCM with a space-time block code and show that in addition to the transmit diversity substantial benefits can be obtained by turbo iterations as long as the channel is time-varying during transmission of a coded block or frequency hopping is applied. Finally, a double iterative scheme for turbo equalization and turbo decoding of the concatenation of Turbo-TCM and space-time block code in frequency-selective MIMO channels is described.

Space-time codes and concatenated channel codes for wirelesscommunications

Following a brief historical perspective on channel coding, an introduction to space-time block codes is given. The various space-time codes considered are then concatenated with a range of channel codecs, such as convolutional and block-based turbo codes as well as conventional and turbo trellis codes. The associated estimated complexity issues and memory requirements are also considered. These discussions are followed by a performance study of various space-time and channel-coded transceivers. Our aim is first to identify a space-time code/channel code combination constituting a good engineering tradeoff in terms of its effective throughput, bit-error-rate performance, and estimated complexity. Specifically, the issue of bit-to-symbol mapping is addressed in the context of convolutional codes (CCs) and convolutional coding as well as Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem coding-based turbo codes in conjunction with an attractive unity-rate space-time code and multilevel modulation is detailed. It is concluded that over the nondispersive or narrow-band fading channels, the best performance versus complexity tradeoff is constituted by Alamouti's twin-antenna block space-time code concatenated with turbo convolutional codes. Further comparisons with space-time trellis codes result in similar conclusions

A novel power allocation scheme for orthogonal space-time block code systems

In this letter, we propose a novel power allocation scheme among transmit antennas to combat channel fading in orthogonal space-time block code systems based on the metric, amount of fading, which can be used to evaluate the severity of channel fading. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the fading-combating performance of orthogonal space-time block code systems significantly.     

A high-rate orthogonal space-time block code

We present a space-time block code from complex orthogonal designs for 5 transmit antennas, which can send 10 information symbols in a block of 15 channel uses and hence have rate 2/3. Simulation results show that this orthogonal space-time block code with rate 2/3 for five transmit antennas can achieve diversity gain over those orthogonal space-time block codes with higher rates for less number of transmit antennas.     

Space-time trellis and space-time block coding versus adaptive Modulation and coding aided OFDM for wideband channels

The achievable performance of channel coded space-time trellis (STT) codes and space-time block (STB) codes transmitted over wideband channels is studied in the context of schemes having an effective throughput of 2 bits/symbol (BPS) and 3 BPS. At high implementational complexities, the best performance was typically provided by Alamouti's unity-rate G/sub 2/ code in both the 2-BPS and 3-BPS scenarios. However, if a low complexity implementation is sought, the 3-BPS 8PSK space-time trellis code outperforms the G/sub 2/ code. The G/sub 2/ space-time block code is also combined with symbol-by-symbol adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiplex (AOFDM) modems and turbo convolutional channel codecs for enhancing the system's performance. It was concluded that upon exploiting the diversity effect of the G/sub 2/ space-time block code, the channel-induced fading effects are mitigated, and therefore, the benefits of adaptive modulation erode. In other words, once the time- and frequency-domain fades of the wideband channel have been counteracted by the diversity-aided G/sub 2/ code, the benefits of adaptive modulation erode, and hence, it is sufficient to employ fixed-mode modems. Therefore, the low-complexity approach of mitigating the effects of fading can be viewed as employing a single-transmitter, single-receiver-based AOFDM modem. By contrast, it is sufficient to employ fixed-mode OFDM modems when the added complexity of a two-transmitter G/sub 2/ scheme is affordable.
