APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SPACE-TIME FREQUENCY BLOCK CODING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for space-time frequency block coding in a MIMO-OFDM communication system. SOLUTION: A transmitting apparatus using a plurality of transmit antennas includes an encoder for encoding an inputted symbol sequence according to a predetermined space-time coding matrix; and an antenna circulator for selecting one out of substitution matrices according to a predetermined rule, and generating a plurality of symbol vectors by substituting the space-time coded symbols according to the selected substitution matrix.
