Performance of Extended Alamouti’s Scheme Using Orthogonal Space Time Block Codes

Abstract

In today’s communication system, satisfying users demand is very challenging and difficult due to the increase in multimedia and internet applications requirement within the limited radio spectrum coupled with multipath fading and interference. Signaling techniques that are robust and efficient need to be investigated and developed. Diversity techniques that used multiple antennas such as space time wireless technology has been proposed to improve the wireless communication in a multipath fading, interference, and signal scattering wireless links. This paper proposed an extended Alamouti’s scheme based on orthogonal space time block code (OSTBC). This proposed scheme is aimed to improve the wireless system efficiency in multipath fading links technique, also it improves the Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) Raleigh fading channel, and minimizes the bit error ratio (BER). The model is developed in MATLAB environment and performance of the model is analyzed in terms of BER vs Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).
