Performance Analysis of Space Time Frequency Coding In Ofdm Systems for Future Wireless Communications

Abstract

This paper investigates the different space-time codes for future wireless transmission. The considered space-time codes in the paper are Alamouti STBC, Golden STBC and Silver STBC, the performance of considered STBC’s is studied in frequency selective fading channel with and without OFDM which provides a real communication environment and it has been observed that Golden STBC provides the best result among other considered STBC’s.
