چکیده

Though cooperative communication has been intensively examined for general wireless systems, such as mobile and ad-hoc networks, it has been almost unexplored in the case of Space-Time-Frequency Coded Multi-band OFDM Ultra-Wideband (STFC MB-OFDM UWB). This paper proposes a framework of cooperative communication in such systems where nodes are equipped with only one antenna. Simulation results show that cooperative communication might, in some cases, provide better error performance than non-cooperative communication without any additional transmission power.

Space-Frequency Transmit Diversity in Multiband-OFDM Systems

In this paper we investigate the suitability and performance of space-frequency block coded Multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) system under UWB channel model. The employment of transmit diversity techniques based on block codes is expected to achieve enhancement in such systems since it greatly reduces the detrimental effects of multipath fading. In the proposed MB-...

Performance Evaluation of MB-OFDM based UWB System

This paper investigates the Multi-band OFDM (MB-OFDM) based physical (PHY) layer proposal for IEEE 802.15.3a working group on short-range high data-rate Ultra-wide-Band (UWB) communications. An overview of the MB-OFDM PHY layer architecture with its various parameters is presented and the optimal choice of critical parameters is discussed. Next, we derive the theoretical un-coded Bit Error Rate...

Performance Comparison between Mb-ofdm and Ds-uwb in Interfered Multipath Channels

Performances of multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) and direct sequence based ultra wideband (DS-UWB) systems are studied in interfered multipath channel. The radio channel is based on the modified Saleh-Valenzuela model. The studies related to the comparison between MB-OFDM and DS-UWB within interference seems to be unsubstantial in the literature. Therefore, it is c...

Cooperative Orthogonal Space-Time-Frequency Block Codes over a MIMO-OFDM Frequency Selective Channel

In this paper, a cooperative algorithm to improve the orthogonal space-timefrequency block codes (OSTFBC) in frequency selective channels for 2*1, 2*2, 4*1, 4*2 MIMO-OFDM systems, is presented. The algorithm of three node, a source node, a relay node and a destination node is formed, and is implemented in two stages. During the first stage, the destination and the relay antennas receive the sym...

Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time-Frequency Codes in MB-OFDM UWB Communications

The paper examines the implementation of QuasiOrthogonal Space-Time-Frequency Codes (QOSTFCs) to increase data rates and error performance in recently proposed STFC Multiband OFDM Ultra Wideband (MB-OFDM UWB) communications systems. It is shown that, an order-4 QOSTFC not only can provide the full rate, but also may provide significantly better error performance, compared to the conventional MB...
