Efficient coding schemes with power allocation using space-time-frequency spreading

An efficient spaee-time-frequency （STF） coding strategy for multi-input multi-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （MIMO-OFDM） systems is presented for high bit rate data transmission over frequency selective fading channels. The proposed scheme is a new approach to space-time-frequency coded OFDM （ODFDM） that combines OFDM with space-time coding, linear precoding and adaptive power allocation to provide higher quality of transmission in terms of the bit error rate performance and power efficiency. In addition to exploiting the maximux diversity gain in frequency, time and space, the proposed scheme enjoys high coding advantages and low-complexity decoding. The significant performance improvement of our design is confirned by corroborating numerical simulations.

Impacts of space-time-frequency synchronization errors onwide-band target echo characteristics of bistatic/multistatic radar

Bistatic/multistatic radar has great potential advantages over its monostatic counterpart. However, the separation of a transmitter and a receiver leads to difficulties in locating the target position accurately and guaranteeing space-timefrequency synchronization of the transmitter and the receiver.The error model of space-time-frequency synchronization in a motion platform of bistatic/multistatic radar is studied. The relationship between the space synchronization error and the transmitter platform position, receiver platform position, moving state, and beam pointing error, is analyzed. The effect of space synchronization error on target echo power is studied. The target scattering characteristics are restructured by many separate scattering centers of the target in high frequency regions. Based on the scattering centers model of the radar target, this radar target echo model and the simulation method are discussed. The algorithm of bistatic/multistatic radar target echo accurately reflects the scattering characteristics of the radar target, pulse modulation speciality of radar transmitting signals, and spacetime-frequency synchronization error characteristics between the transmitter station and the receiver station. The simulation of bistatic radar is completed in computer, and the results of the simulation validate the feasibility of the method.

A New High Rate Differential Space-Time-Frequency Modulation for MIMO-OFDM

In this paper, we propose a new differential space-time-frequency （DSTF） modulation for MIMOOFDM system with four transmit-antennas and arbitrary receive-antennas, which can improve the transmission rate since it can adopt high order quadrature amplitude modulation （QAM） modulation. Our proposed DSTF scheme embeds some full diversity full rate （FDFR） quasi-orthogonal space-time codes （QOSTBC） with QAM modulation into the frequency intervals and adopts the differential modulation in both time and frequency domains. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed DSTF scheme can improve transmission rate greatly. Compared with the conventional differential unitary space-time modulation （DUSTM）, it can get better transmission performance in high transmission rate for MIMO-OFDM system.

Space-Time-Frequency Coded for Multiband-OFDM Based on IEEE 802.15.3a WPAN

In this paper, Multiband-OFDM UWB system based on IEEE 802.15.3a standard is studied and simulated with spatial, time and frequency (STF)coding scheme. The using of STF coding method can guarantee both full symbol rate and full diversity advantages. The simulation results show that the STF code uses multi- path-rich and random-clustering characteristics of UWB channel environment on the performance of MB- OFDM system.

Distributed space-time-frequency coding for cooperative OFDM systems

A distributed space-time-frequency （STF） coding scheme is proposed for cooperative OFDM （C-OFDM） systems with three terminals over quasi-static frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels, The outage probability is derived and its tight closed-form lower bound is presented. Asymptotic analysis indicates that the proposed scheme can achieve both spatial and multipath （frequency） diversity. The theoretical analysis of the proposed STF coded scheme is further implemented by the distributed group STF block coding （D-GSTFBC） scheme based on the subcarrier grouping technique, Simulation results confirm the previously introduced theoretical analysis.

Diversity analysis of space-time-frequency coded broadband MIMO-OFDM system with correlation across space time and frequency

For the frequency selective and time variant multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)channel model taking into account transmitting and receiving antenna correlation,the diversity of space-time-frequency coded broadband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM)system is analyzed.Based on the average pairwise error probability(PEP),the design criterion of space-time-frequency code(STFC)is expanded.For a given STFC,it is found that the achievable diversity order is related to the transmitter and the receiver correlation matrix as well as the time correlation and frequency correlation matrix.The maximum available diversity of STFC over the correlation channel is Lrank(P)rank(Q)rank(RT).The space-time code and space-frequency code are special cases in our approach.Simulation results validate the findings.
