SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SINGLE-CARRIER SPACE-FREQUENCY BLOCK CODED TRANSMISSION OVER FREQUENCY SELECTIVE AND FAST FADING CHANNELS

摘要

A single carrier transmission scheme which utilizes space-frequency block coding and frequency domain equalization (SF-SCFDE) is proposed for frequency selective and fast fading channel. It is shown that employing this technique in slow fading environment depicts the same performance as that obtained with space-time coding scheme. However, in the more difficult fast fading channels, the proposed scheme exhibits much better performance.
