Two Schemes for an Overloaded Space-Time Spreading System over a Flat Rayleigh Fading MIMO Channel
D. CHEN · IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals of Electronics Communications and Computer Sciences · 2006
We propose two sequence design schemes for an overloaded space-time spreading system with multiple antennas. One scheme is for a system in which the amplitude of user signals needs not be adjusted and provides tradeoffs between the user capacity and diversity order. This scheme has a certain similarity to time-sharing, but its performance is further improved by time-diversity. Another is to achieve full diversity order by varying user signal amplitudes. The diversity orders of the respective schemes are theoretically proved and their performances are demonstrated by simulation.
