A Modified Alamouti Scheme for Frequency Selective Channels Incorporating Turbo Equalization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Alamouti scheme can achieve transmit diversity in the presence of frequency flat fading channels. The technique has received considerable attention mainly because of its processing simplicity. Recently, a modification to the Alamouti scheme to achieve transmit diversity in the presence of frequency selective fading channels was proposed. This modified scheme requires parallel equalization of the transmitted information blocks. In this paper a Turbo equalization system is proposed that requires the same number of component equalizers but offers improved system BER performance. The idea treats a pair of frequency selective channels as a parallel-concatenated Turbo encoder.

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...

متن کاملPilot Symbol Assisted Turbo Equalization over a Frequency Selective Rayleigh Fading Channel
A novel pilot-based channel estimation scheme is proposed for frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels which works in conjunction with the existing paradigm of turbo-equalization. The iterative nature of the channel estimation technique provides substantial gain over non-iterative methods, and makes it a suitable choice for iterative equalization and decoding. The use of pilot symbols is de...
متن کاملMAP equalization of space-time coded signals over frequency selective channels
This paper addresses the problem of equalization space-time codes with transmit diversity. We derive a symbol-by-symbol MAP equalizer/decoder for space-time coded signals over frequency selective channels. We describe a turbo equalization/decoding scheme where the results of the decoding are fed back to the equalizer. Simulation results show an improved equalizer performance due to the feedback.
متن کاملReduced-complexity space-time turbo-equalization for frequency-selective MIMO channels
We consider turbo equalization of space–time-coded transmission over frequency-selective fading multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) channels. A MIMO finite-impulse-response prefilter is proposed and shown to reduce the turbo equalizer complexity significantly at a small performance loss. Advantages of the proposed scheme are that we do not alter the equalization algorithm or require the chann...
