Performance Comparison of MIMO-STBC Systems with Adaptive Semiblind Channel Estimation Scheme

Wireless communication is now a part of everyday life in the urban areas. Wireless LAN is mostly utilized communication system as an example. These wireless devices are data rate and range limited, for which the scientists are spending great efforts on finding ways to overcome these limitations. Multi input multi output (MIMO) antenna systems are the example through which these limitations have been reduced upto great extent which provides multilayer beamforming, diversity, and spatial multiplexing. Analysis of adaptive semiblind channel estimation scheme for MIMO antenna array systems with different code rate space time block coding (STBC) has been performed using the adaptive pilot assisted modulation scheme proposed earlier. Semi blind channel estimation method provides the best trade-off in terms of bandwidth overhead, computational complexity and latency. The result after using MIMO systems shows higher data rate and longer transmit range without any requirement of additional bandwidth or transmit power. This paper presents the detailed analysis of diversity coding techniques using MIMO antenna systems. Different STBC schemes have been explored and analyzed with the different code rate STBC using MATLAB environment and the simulated results have been compared in the semiblind environment which shows the improvement even in highly correlated antenna arrays, and is found close to the condition when channel state information is known to the channel.

Performance analysis of orthogonal space-time block codes in spatially correlated MIMO Nakagami fading channels

Orthogonal space-time block coding (STBC) is an open-loop transmit diversity scheme that decouples the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel, thereby reducing the space-time decoding into a scalar detection process. This characteristic of STBC makes it a powerful tool, achieving full diversity over MIMO fading channels, and requiring little computational cost for both the encoding and decoding processes. In this paper, we exploit the single-input single-output equivalency of STBC in order to analyze its performance over nonselective Nakagami fading channels in the presence of spatial fading correlation. More specifically, we derive exact closed-form expressions for the outage probability and ergodic capacity of STBC, when the latter is employed over spatially correlated MIMO Nakagami fading channels. Moreover, we derive the exact symbol error probability of coherent M-PSK and M-QAM, when these modulation schemes are used along with STBC over such fading channels. The derived formulae are then used to assess the robustness of STBC to spatial correlation by considering general MIMO correlation models and analyzing their effects on the outage probability, ergodic capacity, and symbol error probability achieved by STBC.     

Gaussian integers and interleaved rank codes for space–time block codes

This paper presents the design of space–time block codes (STBCs) over maximum rank distance (MRD) codes, energy‐efficient STBCs, STBCs using interleaved‐MRD codes, the use of Gaussian integers for STBCs modulation, and Gabidulin's decoding algorithm for decoding STBCs. The design fundamentals of STBCs using MRD codes are firstly put forward for different number of transmit antennas. Extension finite fields (Galois fields) are used to design these linear block codes. Afterward, a comparative study of MRD‐based STBCs with corresponding orthogonal and quasi‐orthogonal codes is also included in the paper. The simulation results show that rank codes, for any number of transmit antennas, exhibit diversity gain at full rate contrary to orthogonal codes, which give diversity gain at full rate only for two transmit antennas case. Secondly, an energy‐efficient MRD‐STBC is proposed, which outperforms orthogonal STBC at least for 2 × 1 antenna system. Thirdly, interleaved‐MRD codes are used to construct higher‐order transmit antenna systems. Using interleaved‐MRD codes further reduces the complexity (compared with normal MRD codes) of the decoding algorithm. Fourthly, the use of Gaussian integers is utilized in mapping MRD‐based STBCs to complex constellations. Furthermore, it is described how an efficient and computationally less complex Gabidulin's decoding algorithm can be exploited for decoding complex MRD‐STBCs. The decoding results have been compared against hard‐decision maximum likelihood decoding. Under this decoding scheme, MRD‐STBCs have been shown to be potential candidate for higher transmit antenna systems as the decoding complexity of Gabidulin's algorithm is far less, and its performance for decoding MRD‐STBCs is somewhat reasonable.

Algebraic properties of space-time block codes in intersymbol interference multiple-access channels

In this paper, we study the multiple-access channel where users employ space-time block codes (STBC). The problem is formulated in the context of an intersymbol interference (ISI) multiple-access channel which occurs for transmission over frequency-selective channels. The algebraic structure of the STBC is utilized to design joint interference suppression, equalization, and decoding schemes. Each of the K users transmits using M/sub t/=2 transmit antennas and a time-reversed STBC suitable for frequency-selective channels. We first show that a diversity order of 2M/sub r/(/spl nu/+1) is achievable at full transmission rate for each user, when we have M/sub r/ receive antennas, channel memory of /spl nu/, and an optimal multiuser maximum-likelihood (ML) decoder is used. Due to the decoding complexity of the ML detector we study the algebraic structure of linear multiuser detectors which utilize the properties of the STBC. We do this both in the transform (D-domain) formulation and when we impose finite block-length constraints (matrix formulation). The receiver is designed to utilize the algebraic structure of the codes in order to preserve the block quaternionic structure of the equivalent channel for each user. We also explore some algebraic properties of D-domain quaternionic matrices and of quaternionic circulant block matrices that arise in this study.

A Turbo Detection and Sphere-Packing-Modulation-Aided Space-Time Coding Scheme

A recently proposed space-time block-coding (STBC) signal-construction method that combines orthogonal design with sphere packing (SP), referred to here as STBC-SP, has shown useful performance improvements over Alamouti's conventional orthogonal design. In this contribution, we demonstrate that the performance of STBC-SP systems can be further improved by concatenating SP-aided modulation with channel coding and performing demapping as well as channel decoding iteratively. We also investigate the convergence behavior of this concatenated scheme with the aid of extrinsic-information-transfer charts. The proposed turbo-detected STBC-SP scheme exhibits a "turbo-cliff" at E_b/N₀=2.5 dB and provides E_b/N₀ gains of approximately 20.2 and 2.0 dB at a bit error rate of 10 ^-5 over an equivalent-throughput uncoded STBC-SP scheme and a turbo-detected quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulated STBC scheme, respectively, when communicating over a correlated Rayleigh fading channel.A condensed version of this paper was presented at VTC'04 Fall, LA, USA

Simplified receiver design for STBC binary continuous phase modulation

Existing space-time codes have focused on multiple- antenna systems with linear modulation schemes such as phase- shift keying and quadrature amplitude modulation. Continuous phase modulation (CPM) is an attractive scheme for digital transmission because of its constant envelope which is needed for power efficient transmitters. Recent research has shown that space-time coded CPM can achieve transmit diversity to improve performance while maintaining the compact spectrum of CPM signals. However, these efforts mainly combine space- time coding (STC) with CPM to achieve spatial diversity at the cost of a high decoding complexity. In this paper, we design space-time block codes (STBC) for binary CPM with modulation index h = 1/2 and derive low-complexity receivers for these systems. The proposed scheme has a much lower decoding complexity than STC CPM with the Viterbi decoder and still achieves near-optimum error performances.

Optimal space-time coding under iterative processing

In this paper, we deal with the design of a full-rate space-time block coding (STBC) scheme optimized for linear iterative decoding over fast fading multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel. A general and simple coding scheme called diagonal threaded space-time (DTST) code is presented for an arbitrary number of transmit and receive antennas. Theoretical analysis shows that DTST code associated with linear iterative decoding tends towards full diversity performance while providing maximum MIMO multiplexing gain. Simulation results confirm the ability of DTST to outperform the state-of-the-art STBC and conventional spatial data multiplexing schemes under iterative processing.     

MIMO GS OVSF/OFDM Based Underwater Acoustic Multimedia Communication Scheme

An underwater acoustic multimedia communication (UWAMC) system is proposed with 2400 transmission modes according to time-varying multipath underwater acoustic (UWA) channel conditions. The orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) scheme and Gold sequence (GS) scramble code are integrated into multi-input multi-output UWAMC system based on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing to achieve the quality of service of multimedia transmission in the UWA channel. Binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) adaptive modulation, direct mapping (DM) or space–time block code (STBC) transmission strategies, convolution channel code with rate 1/2 and 1/3, and a power assignment mechanism were adopted in the proposed system. Simulation results show that the bit error rate (BER) and power saving ratio (PSR) performance of the STBC strategy with transmission diversity is superior to that of the DM strategy without transmission diversity, and the performance of the BERs and PSRs of the transmission scheme with the GS scramble code surpasses that of the scheme without the code. The performance of the BERs and PSRs of BPSK modulation with a channel code rate of 1/3 is better than that of BPSK modulation with a channel code rate of 1/2, and the performances of BERs and PSRs of BPSK modulation with a channel code rate of 1/3 are better than that of QPSK modulation with a channel code rate of 1/3. As the length of the OVSF codes increases, the UWAMC system’s BERs decrease, and its PSRs increase. The UWAMC system can achieve either maximum transmission speed or maximum transmission power efficiency.
