Space time coding techniques for MIMO-OFDM
OFDM provides the frequency selective channel which can able to divides the frequency band into multiple sub channels and each sub channel carries a different stream of symbols. There is flat frequency response throughput each sub channel when there is narrow bandwidth of each sub channel. Therefore OFDM able to transform a frequency selective channel into set of multiple flat-fading channels. Simultaneously when M transmit antennas used an OFDM transmitter, and N receive antenna used OFDM front end then L flat fading MIMO channel is formed from MIMO frequency selective channel with having dimensions equals to MxN. Earlier traditional space time codes were not optimal for takeout the additional …show more content…

Receiver Processing Only
In this type of MIMO system the processing of signals occurs at the receiver only. Receiver processing system is mostly beneficial in the uplink scenario as the signal processing is restricted to the receiver and as at the mobile station no MIMO signal would be required. In case of uplink scenario, there is a single data stream which is demultiplexed into the N number of substream, and each substream is further modulated and passed it into N number of transmitters.
The power from each individual antenna is proportional to the 1/M. There is algorithm that is V-BLAST algorithm which is used to perform at the receiver site. Taking into account, in the case of uplink there is number of conventional receiver at the base station and they are receiving the signals which are generated from N number of transmitters and therefore they must have considerable interference between the data stream. V-BLAST algorithm at the receiver is used to mitigate the interference between different streams and try to generate the original data stream at the receiver. V-BLAST used optimal combining and interference cancellation technique. The signal which is having the best SNR is retrieved at the receiver. In the figure shown below which illustrates the good performance achieved at the receiver. V-BLAST technique is referred as non-linear technique as it generates
