Abstract

We compare the performance of Alamouti´s space-time block coded MC-CDMA systems for indoor and outdoor realistic scenarios with zero forcing or minimum mean square error detection schemes. Two different configurations of the system are considered for the two scenarios. The different results obtained as well for indoor as for outdoor scenarios demonstrate that spatial diversity improves significantly the performance of MC-CDMA systems. Then, Alamouti´s STBC MC-CDMA schemes derive full benefit from the frequency and spatial diversities and can be considered as a very realistic and promising candidate for the air interface downlink of the 4th generation mobile radio systems.
