Linear Dispersion Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes

A new architecture of space-time codes as a combination of orthogonal space-time block codes （OSTBC） and linear dispersion codes （LDC） is proposed in order to improve the bit error rate（BER） performance of OSTBC.The scheme proposed is named linear dispersion orthogonal space-time block codes （LDOSTBC）.In LDOSTBC scheme,firstly,the data is coded into LDC codewords.Then,the coded LDC substreams are coded into OSTBC codewords again.The decoding algorithm of LDOSTBC combines linear decoding of OSTBC and ML decoding or suboptimum detection algorithms of LDC.Compared with OSTBC scheme when the rate of LDC is MtR,the performance of LDOSTBC scheme can be improved without decreasing the data rate,where Mt is the number of transmit antennas and R is the spectral efficiency of the modulation constellation.If some rate penalty is allowed,when the rate of LDC is less than MtR the performance of LDOSTBC can be improved further.

A New Generalized Complex Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes

Recent research challenges in the wireless communication include the usage of diversity and efficient coding to improve data transmission quality and spectral efficiency. Space diversity uses multiple transmitting and/or receiving antennas to create independent fading channels without penalty in bandwidth efficiency. Space-time block coding is an encoding scheme for communication over Rayleigh fading channels using multiple transmitting antennas. Space-time block codes from complex orthogonal designs exist only for two transmitting antennas. This paper generalizes a new complex orthogonal space-time block code for four transmitting antennas, whose decoding complexity is very low. Simulations show that the generalized complex orthogonal space-time block code has low bit error rate, full rate and possibly large diversity.

OPTIMAL ANTENNA SUBSET SELECTION AND BLIND DETECTION APPROACH APPLIED TO ORTHOGONAL SPACE-TIME BLOCK CODING

An approach combining optimal antenna subset selection with blind detection scheme for Orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding (OSTBC) is proposed in this paper. The optimal antenna sub- set selection is taken into account at transmitter and/or receiver sides, which chooses the optimal an- tennas to increase the diversity order of OSTBC and improve further its performance. In order to en- hance the robustness of the detection used in the conventional OSTBC scheme, a blind detection scheme based on Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is exploited which can directly extract transmitted signals without channel estimation. Performance analysis shows that the proposed ap- proach can achieve the full diversity and the flexibility of system design by using the antenna selec-tion and the ICA based blind detection schemes.

EXACT ERROR PROBABILITY OF ORTHOGONAL SPACE-TIME BLOCK CODES OVER FLAT FADING CHANNELS

Space time block coding is a modulation scheme recently discovered for the transmit an- tenna diversity to combat the effects of wireless fading channels. Using the equivalent Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) model, this paper presents closed-form expressions for the exact Symbol Error Rate (SER) and Bit Error Rate (BER) of Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes (OSTBCs) with M-ary Phase-Shift Keying (MPSK) and M-ary Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (MQAM) over flat un- correlated Nakagami-m and Ricean fading channels.

Space-time Block Codes Based on Quasi-Orthogonal Designs

A new space-time block codes based on quasi-orthogonal designs are put forward. First the channel model is formulated. Then the connection between orthogonal /quasi-orthogonal designs and space-time block codes is explored. Finally we make simulations for the transmission of 4 bits/s/Hz and 6 bits/s/Hz using eight transmit antennas using the rate 3/4 quasi-orthogonal space-time block code and the rate 1/2 full-diversity orthogonal space-time block code. Simulation results show that full transmission rate is more important for very low signal noise ratio (SNR) and high bit error probability (BEP), while full diversity is more important for very high SNR and low BEP.

Analysis of Rate One Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding over Rayleigh Fading Channel

Full-rate is very important in any data transmission coding. For transmitting data at low bit rate than full-rate code, higher modulation scheme is required. But it is impossible to design full rate orthogonal designs with complex constellation for more than two transmit antennas. Only Alamouti code provides full-rate for two transmit antennas. In this paper, Bit Error Rate (BER) is calculated for Quasi-Orthogonal Space-time Block Coding (QOSTBC). Here we work with Rayleigh fading channel. We consider the codes which decodes pairs of symbols instead of simple separate decoding like Orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding. In Quasi-Orthogonal Space-time Block Code full-rate is achieved but full-diversity is sacrificed. Diversity is the most important techniques for providing reliable communication over fading channels. One of the diversity techniques that uses multiple transmit and/or receive antennas is space diversity. Multiple antenna technique provides a space diversity to struggle with the fading without necessarily sacrificing bandwidth resources, so the excellent solutions of removing the fading of the channel for broadband wireless communications is using space diversity. Then, with the constellation rotation of the symbol, rotated version of Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Code is generated. It provides full diversity. We simulate BER for QOSTBC, rotated QOSTBC, orthogonal STBC and for uncoded system. The simulation result shows that QOSTBC and rotated QOSTBC perform better than other systems. It shows that QOSTBC provides a full transmission rate but that rotated QOSTBC provides the full rate with the full diversity.

Prove the Minimal Delay of Complex Orthogonal Space-Time Block Code by Hadamard Matrix

The complex orthogonal designs with maximal rates and minimal delays is an open problem for space-time block code. Maximal rate can effectively transmit symbols to the lonest distance in the space dimension ; and minimal delay is the least decoding delay in the time dimension. Many authors have observed that regarding the complex orthogonal designs for space-time block codes with the antennas n = 4k （ k ∈ N ）, its minimal delay is the same as that for n - 4k -1. However none was able to prove it. In this paper, we use the characteristics of Hadamard matrix to prove this property to fulfill this vacancy.

Capacity of orthogonal space-time block codes in MISO fading channels with co-channel interference and noise

Orthogonal space-time block codes （OSTBCs） are an efficient mean in order to exploit the diversity offered by the wireless multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） channel. This paper considers capacity problems of OSTBCs over spatially correlated multiple-input single-out （MISO） Rayleigh fading channels in the presence of spatially correlated Rayleigh co-channel interference and additive Gaussian noise, and derives exact expressions of the ergodic capacity and outage probability （capacity distribution） for such OSTBCs. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the effect of co-channel interference on the ergodic and outage capacity of OSTBCs.

Performance of MIMO Systems Using Space Time Block Codes (STBC)

Digital Communications, in relation to wireless networks, have taken off in recent years due to the expanding need to communicate faster and more efficiently. A popular way to achieve this is by using wireless Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) communication systems. MIMO systems utilize Space Time Block Codes (STBC) as one of the leading ways to obtain higher data rates with limited bandwidth and power. With several STBC methods currently available, this paper analyzes simulations using Orthogonal Space Time Block Codes (OSTBC) in Rayleigh fading channels to evaluate the performance of MIMO systems. The selection to use a Rayleigh fading channel as a model for a non-line-of-sight (nLOS) environment is selected to mimic installations where a large number of signal paths and reflections are expected. All simulations are coded, generated and plotted using MATLAB resulting in graphical data representing the bit-error rate (BER) to signal-to-noise ratio (Eb/N0) or SNR. Each simulation captures how different configurations of key variables including code rate, diversity and antenna count can impact system performance. Four modulation schemes (BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM) are included in each simulation. Conclusive evidence based upon these simulations suggests higher diversity gains were achieved with a greater number of antennas. The most significant factor for increasing system performance was using a lower count of transmit antennas with a higher count of receive antennas.

A CODE DESIGN CRITERIA FOR NOT FULLY CONNECTED CHANNEL

There are parallel channels which are not fully connected in practice, such as Frequency Division Multiplex (FDM or Orthogonal FDM) systems. Conventional space-time codes can be used for such parallel channels but not the optimal. Based on the derivation of PEP expression for codes transmitted on parallel block fading channels, criteria of codes design for not fully connected channels are proposed and are compared with Tarokh's criteria for fully connected channel. New codes for such channels are provided by systematical and exhaustive search. Simulation results show that these codes offer better performance on parallel FDM channels than other known codes.

FOLMS-AMDCNet:an automatic recognition scheme for multiple-antenna OFDM systems

The existing recognition algorithms of space-time block code(STBC)for multi-antenna(MA)orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing(OFDM)systems use feature extraction and hypothesis testing to identify the signal types in a complex communication environment.However,owing to the restrictions on the prior information and channel conditions,these existing algorithms cannot perform well under strong interference and noncooperative communication conditions.To overcome these defects,this study introduces deep learning into the STBCOFDM signal recognition field and proposes a recognition method based on the fourth-order lag moment spectrum(FOLMS)and attention-guided multi-scale dilated convolution network(AMDCNet).The fourth-order lag moment vectors of the received signals are calculated,and vectors are stitched to form two-dimensional FOLMS,which is used as the input of the deep learning-based model.Then,the multi-scale dilated convolution is used to extract the details of images at different scales,and a convolutional block attention module(CBAM)is introduced to construct the attention-guided multi-scale dilated convolution module(AMDCM)to make the network be more focused on the target area and obtian the multi-scale guided features.Finally,the concatenate fusion,residual block and fully-connected layers are applied to acquire the STBC-OFDM signal types.Simulation experiments show that the average recognition probability of the proposed method at−12 dB is higher than 98%.Compared with the existing algorithms,the recognition performance of the proposed method is significantly improved and has good adaptability to environments with strong disturbances.In addition,the proposed deep learning-based model can directly identify the pre-processed FOLMS samples without a priori information on channel and noise,which is more suitable for non-cooperative communication systems than the existing algorithms.
