The goal of space-time coding is to achieve the maximum diversity of NM, the maximum coding gain, and the highest possible throughput. In addition, the decoding complexity is very important.

Alamouti code

N = 2 M = 1

To transmit b bits/cycle, we use a modulation scheme that maps every b bits to one symbol from a constellation with 2bsymbols

First, the transmitter picks two symbols from the constellation using a block of 2b bits. If s1 and s2 are the selected symbols for a block...

Brief Summary of the project

Definition:

Simulation of a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system using various Space Time Coding (STC) techniques in LabVIEW

MIMO-STC technique is one of the salient features of the WiMAX Mobile standarad, which along with Multiple Access scheme for multiple users, also marks it different from the WiMAX Fixed standard. The above simulation will be done specifically keeping in mind the WiMAX standard.

The success of the simulation will be done after com...
