چکیده
In this contribution, the benefit of applying channel knowledge at the transmitter is investigated for multi-carrier spread-spectrum (MC-SS) systems. Two different MC-SS systems are observed, namely uplink multi-carrier code-division multiple-access (MCCDMA) and spread-spectrum multi-carrier multiple-access (SSMC-MA). The latter system is considered for both downand uplink transmission. Pre-equalization as well as spatial diversity techniques based on transmit selection diversity and maximum ratio combining are evaluated as transmit diversity techniques which utilize channel knowledge at the transmitter. It is shown that the considered MC-SS systems can provide very promising performance with low hardware complexity.

Single-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC channels
In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...

In a frequency-selective fading channel, the transmission performance of single-carrier (SC) transmission significantly degrades due to severe inter-symbol-interference (ISI). In this paper, the joint use of space-time transmit diversity (STTD), receive antenna diversity and frequency-domain minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalization in SC transmission is studied. Space-time encoding and dec...

Abstract Recently, multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) has been attracting much attention for the broadband wireless access in the next generation mobile communications systems. In the case of uplink transmissions, the orthogonality among users’ signals is destroyed since each user’s signal goes through different fading channel and hence, the use of frequency-domain pre-equali...

Recently, frequency-domain equalization (FDE) has been attracting much attention as a way to improve single-carrier (SC) signal transmission in a frequency-selective wireless channel. Since the SC signal spectrum is spread over the entire signal bandwidth, FDE can take advantage of channel frequency-selectivity and achieve the frequency diversity gain. SC with FDE is a promising wireless signal...
