Orthogonal signal-division multiplexing (OSDM) is a newly emerged modulation scheme which provides a generalized framework unifying conventional orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and single-carrier frequency domain equalization. In this letter, a space-frequency block coding (SFBC) scheme based on OSDM is proposed for time-varying underwater acoustic channels. The receiver proce...

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a well-known technique for transmission of high rate data over broadband frequency-selective channels that mitigates intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by the delay spread of wireless channels. Space Frequency Block Coded technique (SFBC) is a spatial diversity technique used to achieve full transmission diversity with higher capacity. The...

We consider cooperative space-frequency block-coded OFDM (SFBC-OFDM) networks with amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) protocols at the relays. In cooperative SFBC-OFDM networks that employ DF protocol, (i), intersymbol interference (ISI) occurs at the destination due to violation of the “quasistatic” assumption because of the frequency selectivity of the relay-to-destination c...

It is very important to achieve high performance in the SC-FDMA (single carrier frequency division multiple access) system that is used for LTE (long term evolution) and LTE-advanced system. To simultaneously resolve ICI(inter-subcarrier interference) and PAPR(peak to average power ratio) problem, focused on the two transmit(Tx) / one receive(Rx) antenna configuration, phase noise influence on ...

Carrier Interferometry Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CI-COFDM) system has been widely studied in multi-carrier communication system. The CI-COFDM system spreads each coded information symbol across all N sub-carriers using orthogonal CI spreading codes. The CI-COFDM system shows the advantages of Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) reduction, frequency diversity and coding ga...

This paper presents a novel matched rotation precoding (MRP) scheme to design a rate one space-frequency block code (SFBC) and a multirate SFBC for MIMO-OFDM systems with limited feedback. The proposed rate one MRP and multirate MRP can always achieve full transmit diversity and optimal system performance for arbitrary number of antennas, subcarrier intervals, and subcarrier groupings, with lim...

This paper proposes high-rate full-diversity spacefrequency trellis code (SFTC) designs, which achieve the full diversity advantage at high transmission rate, for frequency selective fading channels. The proposed SFTC are derived based on the concept of concatenated space-time block code (STBC) and multiple trellis coded modulation (MTCM) encoder constructions. The existing SFTC designs only pr...

cate problems with heparin-plasma samples when we used the SFBC-recommended LDH method, which again was demonstrated in a separate experiment in this study. Thus, there could be reasonable doubt whether the duplicate errors that occurred with the IFCC method were caused by contamination of the plasma with platelets or erythrocytes because then the SFBC method also would be expected to have a hi...

This paper presents the effect of Hydrochloric acid (HCl) on Blended Cement (Fly ash based(BC)) and Silica Fume Blended Cement(SFBC) and their concretes. The BC and SFBC and their concretes BCC and SFBCC produced with HCl dosage of 100, 150, 300, 500 and 900 mg/l added in deionised water. In addition to this control specimens were prepared with deionised water (without HCl) for comparison. The ...

This paper contains the Hadamard Transform in the SLM for the reduction of high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) in MIMOOFDM systems. In this technique, the input sequence is multiplied by a set of phase rotation vectors respectively and then applies the Hadamard Transform to the each resulting sequence based on SFBC. After that perform the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform in order to get the t...
