Performance evaluation of space time trellis coded MIMO for mobile communications

Abstract

<p>The major enemy of wireless communication is multipath fading that highly degrades the received signal. Spatial diversity highly reduces deep fades of the wireless communication. Higher signal to noise ratio (SNR) requirement can be reduced by using space time coding. In this paper, the error performance of un-coded MIMO, different diversity combing methods, space time block codes and space time trellis codes are analyzed using different parameters including number of antennas, M-array modulations, trace criteria, rank and determinant. The simulation results have shown that the Bit Error Rate (BER) significantly reduces with increasing number of receiver antennas. However, the number of antennas that a mobile device can have is limited by its size and this is inconvenient for mobile communication. Hence, this paper suggests space time codes to mitigate multipath problems in mobile communication. So, BER performance of space time block codes scheme was evaluated by varying the number of transmitter and receiver antennas along with varying M-array PSK modulation orders. The results have shown that better BER is possible by integrating space time codes with spatial diversity. Finally, the error performance of space time trellis codes was evaluated by using trace, rank and determinant, and the simulation results depicted that better error performance is achieved using the proposed multipath reduction method.</p>

Design and Evaluation of the Efficiency of Channel Coding LDPC Codes for 5G Information Technology

“…A significant number of works on LDPC-coding [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] do not fully describe all the potential of pointed codes. Thus, the study of LDPC codes for communication memoryless channels is quite relevant for networks, in particular in the case of trellis code modulation and the formation of trellis structures [14].…”

“…The concept of application of LDPC-codes for wireless sensor networks is described. The researches described in [6][7][8][9][10] concern the issues of adaptive decoding, elaboration of SCC on the basis of LDPC-codes, turbo codes, Reed-Solomon code, Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem code [11][12][13][14]. These works present important results of the described codes research in channels with multi position modulation [6].…”

A simulation based performance evaluation of optical ethernet switch

“…This is due to the fact that the inter-packet gap for both high priority (HP traffic) and low priority (LP traffic) is not preserved which leads to the observation of this measured value. And also, the nonpreemptive scheduling algorithm in ethernet switch introduces synchronization problem and jitter [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Due to synchronization problem, PDV is going down or decreasing in the range [0.3, 0.4] and [0.5, 0.6] As discussed in Section III, in ethernet switch, packets from HP class are always scheduled first.…”

Telecommunication customer satisfaction using self‐organized network‐based heuristic algorithm

“…9 However, the researchers did not show any more HO performance enhancement using variable HO control parameters. The telecommunication customer satisfaction is enhanced using wireless multipath fading reduction 10,11 ; however, though the researches work on mobile user scenario, they did not consider the user speed variability which significantly affects the HO issues.…”
