The BER curves donot follow exactly as per the ones published in the book i am referring to, however they do resemble them. moreover the performance after using alamouti scheme does increases but not significantly as per the book. i have attached the pics of simulated curves. they were taken with 3.5K no of symbols, 10Hz symbol rate, 1 Hz doppler spread, 8 samples per symbol and mean of 20 iterations per SNR value. These values gives a very good result but the time taken for it outrageously l...
