METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SFBC/STBC USING INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION

摘要

Aspects of a method and system for SFBC and/or STBC using interference cancellation are presented. Aspects of an exemplary system may enable rate $\frac{5}{4}$ coding in diversity communication systems that utilize SFBC and/or STBC. A transmitting station may utilize SFBC or STBC to generate and/or concurrently transmit a plurality of signals symbols, which are encoded to enable rate $\frac{5}{4}$ transmission. A receiving station may decode rate $\frac{5}{4}$ encoded signals utilizing various methods to achieve interference cancellation. The interference cancellation may cancel at least a portion of intersymbol interference, which may occur among symbols in the received rate $\frac{5}{4}$ encoded signals. Various methods may be utilized to compute estimated values for at least a portion of the symbols. These methods may include the class of linear estimation methods, such as minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimation.
