Abstract

In this study, a new space time block code (STBC) is proposed for long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) system that is equipped with three time slots and two antennas. The introduced STBC has the following characteristics: i) it achieves rate one and full diversity, ii) its maximum likelihood (ML) decoding requires a joint detection of three real symbols, iii) the minimum determinant value (MDV) does not vanish by increasing signal constellation size, and iv) bit error rate (BER) results show that the proposed STBC outperforms previously presented schemes for LTE-A at high SNRs.
