Abstract

Time-selectivity in fast fading channels has been one of big obstacles to attain high efficiency and diversity gain for space-times codes. Orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (OFDM) combined with space-time trellis codes has been introduced to combat effect of frequency-selectivity. Subsequently, space-time block codes, space-frequency codes and concatenation with diverse error-correcting codes were investigated. However, for multiple-input multiple-out (MIMO) OFDM systems, to design high-efficiency robust space-time-frequency codes becomes one of big problems. In this paper, we presented pairwise error probability analysis of space-frequency-time block codes, and then concluded one general design criterion for space-time-frequency block codes by utilizing the frequency-correlation feature of sub-channel in mobile OFDM systems. Then, we investigated performance of space-frequency block codes for MIMO-OFDM systems with 4 transmit antennas. And comparison between space-frequency block codes and space-time block codes is performed with different number of transmit antenna. Link-level simulations on COSSAP® verified analytical results. The results show that SFBC is superior to STBC in fast fading channel. And power-delay profile of fading channel, i.e., channel order and delay spread, must be included into design consideration on space-time-frequency codes.
