Apparatus and method for differential STBC reception using channel power normalisation

摘要

The normalized symbols is generated by multiplying the received block symbols by symbol blocks transmitted at previous time and then dividing the result by normalization value so as to determine size of previous symbol block. The normalized symbols are transmitted once at each antenna for each time period. The symbol combinations are transmitted through the antennas for corresponding time period. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) method for receiving symbols encoded using differential space-time block code; (2) transmitter for encoding symbols; and (3) receiver for receiving encoded symbols.
