Performance analysis of MIMO-COFDM under Rayleigh fading channel

OFDM is known to be one of the most promising technologies of present time for high performance and high speed data transmission systems. Moreover MIMO-OFDM proves to be even better in terms of better performance and a lower bit error rate (BER). In this paper, we discussed about MIMO Coded OFDM (MIMO-COFDM) where information data has been Reed-Muller coded and shown that the performance of the systems improve further. Simulation has been done for various channel constraints like additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), AWGN with inter carrier interference (ICI) due to carrier frequency offset (CFO) and AWGN with ICI having Rayleigh fading environment.
