Closed-loop space–time block coding and resource allocation in collaborative wireless networks
thesis
posted on 2018-08-09, 08:37 authored by Shakiru K. KassimThe focus of this thesis is to exploit closed-loop space–time block coding
schemes designed for multiple antenna links composed of four transmit
antennas within collaborative wireless networks. Such schemes
have the potential to increase the end-to-end bit error rate performance
of wireless networks as compared to established schemes which
only include links composed of two transmit antennas. The two four
transmit antenna closed-loop space–time block codes (STBCs) considered
are the closed-loop quasi-orthogonal STBC (CL-QO-STBC) and
the closed-loop extended-orthogonal STBC (CL-EO-STBC) schemes.
Both techniques benefit from linear decoding complexity and symbolwise
maximum likelihood decoding. [Continues.]
