An efficient space-time-frequency coded OFDM technique for broadband wireless communications was proposed. The proposed scheme adopts subcarrier grouping and linear precoding, which can guarantee the maximum diversity gain and facilitate the process of encoding and decoding. It jointly uses the space-time trellis codes (STTC) and the space-time block codes (STBC) to achieve higher coding gain. Power allocation is adopted in the scheme to achieve better bit error rate (BER) performance and higher power efficiency. The proposed scheme is an approach to space-time-frequency coded OFDM (COFDM) that combines OFDM with space-time coding, linear precoding and adaptive power allocation to provide higher quality of transmission in terms of the error rate performance and power efficiency. The significant performance improvement of the design is confirmed by corroborating numerical simulations.
