Abstract
A novel combination of block spread orthogonal frequency division multiple access (BS-OFDMA) with space-time coded multiple input multiple output (STC MIMO) scheme is proposed for broadband wireless access uplink transmission. Using complex exponential spreading sequences, the block spreading technique can efficiently generate precoded OFDMA signal to exploit frequency diversity. An Alamouti STC MIMO encoding technique is incorporated with the block spreading to achieve further spatial diversity. The performance of the proposed STC-BS-OFDMA system using minimum mean squared error equalization is analyzed, and a closed-form asymptotical bit error rate expression is derived. Simulation results are also given to demonstrate the improved diversity performance as compared with other OFDMA schemes. The proposed techniques are well suited for future broadband wireless access systems such as 3G LTE and 4G.
