Simple scheme combining space-time coded OFDM with multi-dimension beamforming

A simple and efficient combining scheme was proposed for MIMO-OFDM system, which jointly designed space time block codes and multi-dimension eigen-beamforming according to second-order statistics of channels. The proposed scheme would achieve the maximum coding gain besides the expected diversity, and the selection of space time block codes was not limited to the number of the actual transmit antennas, thus the appropriate tradeoff among...
