SIMPLIFIED IMPLEMENTATION OF OPTIMAL DECODING FOR COFDM TRANSMITTER DIVERSITY SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method are provided for optimal decoding in a Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing diversity system. The system and method improve the performance of 802. 11a receivers by combining optimal maximum likelihood decoding with symbol level decoding such that the performance advantages of optimal maximum likelihood decoding are provided with the same computational complexity as Alamouti symbol level decoding method.
