Application of space-time coding techniques in third generation systems
Alister Graham Burr · 2000
We consider the application of space-time processing techniques using multiple antennas to third generation mobile communication systems, which have been shown to enable substantial capacity improvements. We describe a technique for the evaluation of such schemes and apply it to some potential applications of the technique within the current third generation standards. We describe a simple technique which can provide a 16/sup th/ order diversity improvement, resulting in a 10 dB performance improvement.
