Abstract

Multi-input multi-output-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is known as a proper solution for wideband wireless communication. Numerous space-frequency block codes (SFBCs) and space-time-frequency block codes (STFBCs) have been proposed so far for implementing MIMO-OFDM systems. In this paper, a new full-diversity STFBC is proposed for two transmit antennas, which could benefit from the maximum coding advantage when delay and power profiles (DPPs) of the channel are available at the transmitter. Furthermore, simulation results confirm that the proposed STFBC outperforms other recently proposed STFBCs with the same order of the receiver complexity.
