Abstract

In this paper, we propose a STF (Space-Time-Frequency) coded OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) transmission scheme as an attractive solution for high bit rate data transmission in a multipath fading environment. The STF-OFDM transmission scheme that we propose in this paper is a simple method with low complexity for improving the performance of conventional ST-OFDM. Using orthogonal precoding in frequency domain, we obtain frequency diversity gain and improve the SER performance. The orthogonal precoding proposed in this paper is a very simple scheme that can be encoded and decoded with low complexity.
