w A distributed space-frequency (SF) coded cooperative technique is proposed for broadband wireless ad-hoc networks, where both the channels from the source node to relay nodes and from the relay nodes to the destination node are characterized by frequency-selective fading. Using an SIT coding at the source node and a circular shift at each relay node, we propose a scheme that can achieve both cooperative and multipath diversity. The pairwise error probability is analyzed and the result demonstrates that a diversity gain of min(ML1, ML2) can be achieved, where All is the number of the relay nodes, and L, and L-2 are the number of taps of the multipath fading channels from the source node to the relay nodes and from the relay nodes to the destination node, respectively. Furthermore, the proposed distributed SF coding can achieve full-rate transmission for any number of relay nodes. In particular, it does not need IFFT/FFT processing or decoding at each relay node, thus providing a low-complexity design of the relay nodes in broadband wireless ad-hoc networks.

In this article, we propose a time-spreaded quasi-orthogonal space-frequency coded OFDM system with constellation rotation. A constellation rotated quasi-orthogonal OFDM system could offer full rate and full diversity in a frequency selective fading channel. Time spreading can give additional time diversity gain in a fast fading channel. Assuming that complex channel gains between adjacent subcarriers are approximately equal, we develop a coding scheme for 4 x 1 MISO transceiver and its BER performance is evaluated for different Doppler frequencies in an OFDM system. The simulation results show that 2 dB gain can be achieved at BER of 10(-3) using the proposed scheme compared to a scheme without time spreading and constellation rotation when 512 subcarriers are used at maximum Doppler frequency of 300 Hz. Also, the proposed system is analyzed for different delay spread of the channel and the results show that if adjacent subcarriers are correlated, it is better in SF-OFDM decoding.

Designing diversity achieving schemes over the wireless broadband fading relay channels is crucial to achieve higher diversity gains. These gains are achieved by exploiting the multi-path (frequency) and cooperative diversities to combat the fading nature of wireless channels. The challenge is how to design space-frequency codes, distributed among randomly located nodes that can exploit the frequency diversity of the wireless broadband channels. In this paper, the design of distributed space-frequency codes (DSFCs) for wireless relay networks is considered. The proposed DSFCs are designed to achieve the frequency and cooperative diversities of the wireless relay channels. The use of DSFCs with the decode-and-forward (DAF) and amplify-and-forward (AAF) protocols is considered. The code design criteria to achieve full diversity, based on the pairwise error probability (PEP) analysis, are derived. For DSFC with the DAF protocol, a two-stage coding scheme, with source node coding and relay nodes coding, is proposed. We derive sufficient conditions for the proposed code structures at the source and relay nodes to achieve full diversity of order NL, where N is the number of relay nodes and L is the number of paths per channel. For the case of DSFC with the AAF protocol, a structure for distributed space-frequency coding is proposed.

Multipath fading is one of the main challenges in transmission over wireless broadband relay channels due to frequency selectivity, which may deteriorate the received signal. Exploiting the extra source of multipath diversity, aside from cooperative (user) diversity, is important when coping with these wireless channel limitations. In this correspondence, we propose a new distributed space-frequency code (SFC) for broadband fading relay channels that can exploit both the spatial and multipath diversities in a distributed fashion. An upper bound for pairwise error probability (PEP) is derived, and from this PEP bound, we show that the proposed code achieves a diversity of order NL, where N is the number of relay nodes, and L is the channel memory length. The decode-and-forward (DF) protocol and erroneous decoding at the relay nodes are considered. Moreover, it is shown that the proposed code structure achieves the maximum coding gain among the linearly coded systems over channels with uniform power delay profiles.

This paper proposes a novel LDPC based differential unitary space-frequency coding (DUSFC) scheme for MIMO-OFDM systems when neither the transmitter nor the receiver has access to the channel state information (CSI). The new DUSFC strategy basically consists of coding across transmit antennas and OFDM tones simultaneously as well as differential modulation in the time-domain. It can fully exploit the inherent advantages provided by the multipath fading channels, resulting in a high degree of diversity. The state-of-the-art low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are concatenated with our DUSFC as channel coding to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance considerably. Owing to the maximum multipath diversity and large coding advantages, LDPC-DUSFC strongly outperforms the differential unitary space-time coded OFDM techniques re- cently proposed in literature. The corresponding iterative decoding algorithm without channel estimation is finally provided to offer significant performance gain. Simulation results illustrate the merits of the proposed scheme.

We investigate space-frequency block coding for OFDM systems with multiple transmit antennas, where coding is applied in the frequency domain (OFDM carriers) rather than in the time domain (OFDM symbols). In particular we consider Alamouti's code, which was shown to be the optimum block code for two transmit antennas and time domain coding. We show that the standard decoding algorithm results in significant performance degradation depending on the frequency-selective nature of the transmission channels, such that a low coherence bandwidth results in a huge degradation. The optimum decoding algorithm that alleviates this problem is the maximum-likelihood decoder for joint symbol detection. We present a performance analysis for the investigated space-frequency decoders in terms of the achievable BER results. Furthermore we compare space-time and space-frequency coding and discuss the respective advantages and drawbacks of the different decoding algorithms in terms of their complexity. It should be noted that for the space-time approach we introduce the so-called matched-filter receiver, which shows significantly lower complexity compared to the maximum-likelihood decoder known from literature. The HIPERMAN system serves as an example OFDM system for quantitative comparisons.

In this paper, a new distributed space-frequency coding (DSFC) scheme, for broadband fading relay channels is presented. This scheme exhibits a spatial and a multipath diversity in a distributed fashion. An upper-bound on the pairwise error probability (PEP) is derived. From this PEP bound, it is shown that the proposed coding scheme achieves a diversity of order NL, where N is the number of relay nodes and L is the channel memory length. A decode-and-forward (DAF) protocol and erroneous decoding at the relay nodes are considered. To compensate for the diversity loss due to potential error detection at the relay nodes, additional coding at the source node is proposed.

Performances and capacities of differential-encoded fast frequency-hopping multiple-access (FFHMA) systems under Nakagami-m fading channels are studied. The space-frequency coding (SFC) scheme is applied to gain diversity order. The proposed FFHMA transmitter can operate without an output hopping filter. The simulation results show that the receiver can detect the transmitted signal when maximum Doppler frequency closes to 350 Hz. The performances of synchronous FFHMA systems can be improved by spreading factor and average SNR per bit. In Rayleigh fading channel, the system capacity of FFHMA for BER about 10(-3) is derived from simulation and it is about 5, 24, and 61 users for spreading factor of 1, 2, and 4 respectively.

In this paper we investigate the performance of single-relay cooperative scheme, where the source is equipped with a 2-antenna array and both the relay and destination with a single antenna. We consider Amplify-and-Forward, Decode-and-Forward and Selective Decode-and-Forward relaying protocols and a space-frequency block coding designed for DL OFDM based systems is employed. Signals expressions are derived for each relay protocol under various scenarios, considering power constraint imposed on cooperating nodes. The aim of this work is to evaluate this Virtual MIMO scheme in realistic scenarios (e. g. correlated antennas, precise channel models, Doppler effects) for implementation purposes in a system with LTE based parameters and considering channel turbo coding. The coded performance of the proposed Virtual MIMO scheme is evaluated, and compared against non-cooperative OFDM based systems, for typical pedestrian scenarios based on LTE specifications. The proposed cooperative scheme outperforms the co-located MISO and MIMO for some scenarios.
