Alternate time-switched multiplexed space-time block coding technique for single-carrier modulation

摘要

This paper proposes an alternate time-switched multiplexed space-time block coding technique for single-carrier modulation systems. Alternate time-switched scheme of transmitting time-domain zeros gives an additional frequency domain diversity at the expense of switches. Simulation results show that alternate time-switched scheme has advantages for single-carrier modulation as well as OFDM case compared to the multiplexed STBC without alternate switching.
