A pseudo alamouti transceiver design for OFDM/OQAM modulation with cyclic prefix

Multi-carrier modulation (MCM) and especially orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are currently used in many radio transmission standards. Among these modulations, OFDM offset QAM (OFDM/OQAM) is an interesting alternative to OFDM. However, differently to OFDM, OFDM/OQAM modulation cannot directly use Alamouti coding scheme due to the remaining interference. In this paper, we propose a scheme which permits to adapt OFDM/OQAM to multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Alamouti system. The simulation results illustrate its efficiency.
