Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel space-time coding scheme for fast time-variant direct-sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDMA) channels. The proposed scheme employs multi-chip differential space-time block coding (MC-DSTBC) and robustness against fast fading is further improved by low-complexity decision-feedback differential detection (DF-DD). A detailed performance analysis of MC-DSTBC with DF-DD is provided. Both analytical and simulation results show in good agreement the excellent performance of the novel design in fast time-variant channels
