            Abstract : 
System-level investigations are crucial to determine the performance of transmission strategies on network level. In this paper we derive a novel link measurement model for the evaluation of Alamouti encoded transmissions. Our model allows for the precalculation of so-called fading parameters which are real valued scalars, thus effectively reducing the computational complexity in system level simulations. Finally, we present fading simulations based on our model and discuss the basic performance characteristics of the transmission scheme.
