In this paper, we investigate the error probability performance of noncoherently detected orthogonal modulation combined with Alamouti space-time block coding. We find that there are two types of pair-wise error probabilities that characterize the performance. We employ methods that allow a direct evaluation of exact, closed-form expressions for these error probabilities. Theoretical as well as numerical results show that noncoherent orthogonal modulation combined with space-time block coding (STBC) achieves full spatial diversity. We derive an expression for approximate average bit error probability for-ary orthogonal signaling that allows one to show the tradeoff between increased rate and performance degradation.

This paper proposes an alternate time-switched multiplexed space-time block coding technique for orthogonal frequency division modulation systems. The traditional multiplexed space-time block coding technique can provide more data rate owing to multiple transmit and receive technique, which causes a lot of hardware burden. Alternate time-switched scheme of transmitting time-domain zeros can reduce this hardware burden by half with time-domain switches only. Simulation results show that alternate time-switched scheme has almost same performance with half of baseband and RF modules in comparison with a multiplexed space-time block coding for orthogonal frequency division modulation systems with twice repetitive transmission.

In this paper, we present a method to improve the performance of the four transmit antenna quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (STBC) in the coded system. For the four transmit antenna case, the quasi-orthogonal STBC consists of two symbol groups which are orthogonal to each other, but intra group symbols are not. In uncoded system with the matched filter detection, constellation rotation can improve the performance. However, in coded systems, its gain is absorbed by the coding gain especially for lower rate code. We propose an iterative decoding method to improve the performance of quasi-orthogonal codes in coded systems. With conventional quasi-orthogonal STBC detection, the joint ML detection can be improved by iterative processing between the demapper and the decoder. Simulation results shows that the performance improvement is about 2dB at 1% frame error rate.

본 논문에서는 복조후 전송 (DF: Decode-and-Forward) 중계기를 사용하는 협력통신 (Cooperative Communication) 시스템에서 동일 채널로 전송된 다른 신호에 의해 단말기에 발생할 수 있는 간섭 완화 방법에 대해 분석하고 실험하였다. 간섭완화 방법은 동일 채널로 전송할 신호를 직교 부호를 이용하여 부호화한 후 전송하면, 수신기는 미리 알고 있는 직교 부호를 이용하여 자신이 원하는 신호만 수신하는 것이다. 본 논문에서 이용한 직교 부호는 직교 골드 부호 (Orthogonal Gold Code) 를 이용하였다. 하지만 직교 골드 부호 이외에 직교 성질을 가지는 다른 부호를 직교 부호로 사용할 수 있다. 또한 추가적인 배열 이득으로 인해 시스템 성능을 향상시키기 위해 시공간 블록 부호화 (STBC : Space Time Block Coding) 개념을 적용하였다.

According to information theory, non-orthogonal transmission can achieve the multiple-user channel capacity with an onion-peeling like successive interference cancellation (SIC) based detection followed by a capacity approaching channel code. However, in multiple antenna system, due to the unideal characteristic of the SIC detector, the residual interference propagated to the next detection stage will significantly degrade the detection performance of spatial data layers. To overcome this problem, we proposed a modified power-domain non-orthogonal multiple access (P-NOMA) scheme joint designed with space-time coding for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) NOMA system. First, with proper power allocation for each user, inter-user signals can be separated from each other for NOMA detection. Second, a well-designed quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (QO-STBC) was employed to facilitate the SIC-based MIMO detection of spatial data layers within each user. Last, we proposed an optimization algorithm to assign channel coding rates to balance the bit error rate (BER) performance of those spatial data layers for each user. Link-level performance simulation results demonstrate that the proposed time-space-power domain joint transmission scheme performs better than the traditional P-NOMA scheme. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is of low complexity and easy to implement.

This paper proposes a hybrid algorithm of space-time block coding and space-frequency block coding using alternate time switch. The traditional alternate time-switched space-time or space-frequency block coding technique for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system does not provide a good performance with a variety of communication environments. This hybrid algorithm has searched good performance ranges in various environments in view points of mobile speed and doppler frequency. In this paper, we investigate better performance ranges for two algorithms, suggest a hybrid algorithm for dynamically changing communication environments, propose a structure for transmitter and receiver, and show that its performance is better than the traditional algorithm by simulations.

Herein, a new space-time block coding technique is proposed for a MIMO 2 × 2 multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) system to minimize the bit error rate (BER) in Rayleigh fading channels with reduced decoding complexity using ZF and MMSE linear detection techniques. The main objective is to improve the service quality of wireless communication systems and optimize the number of antennas used in base stations and terminals. The idea is to exploit the correlation product technique between both information symbols to transmit per space-time block code and their own orthogonal Walsh-Hadamard sequences to ensure orthogonality between both symbol vectors and create a full-rate orthogonal STBC code. Using 16 quadrature amplitude modulation and the quasi-static Rayleigh channel model in the MATLAB environment, the simulation results show that the proposed space-time block code performs better than the Alamouti code in terms of BER performance in the 2 × 2 MIMO system for both cases of linear decoding ZF and MMSE.

We propose a new space-time block coding (STBC) for asynchronous cooperative systems in full-duplex mode. The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission technique is used to combat the timing errors from the relay nodes. At the relay nodes, only one OFDM time slot is required to delay for a pair-wise symbol swap operation. The decoding complexity is lower for this new STBC than for the traditional quasi-orthogonal STBC. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves excellent performances.

In this paper, we consider the detection of orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) without channel state information (CSI) at the receiver. Based on the conventional blind cyclic decoder, we propose an enhanced blind cyclic decoder which has higher system performance than the conventional one. Furthermore, the proposed decoder offers low complexity since it does not require the computation of singular value decomposition.
