Effect of MMSE channel estimation on BER performance of orthogonal space-time block codes in Rayleigh fading channels

We present a simple closed-form expression for the BER of orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) with MMSE channel estimation, assuming PAM and QAM constellations and flat Rayleigh block fading. The BER expression is exact for a certain class of …

Exact BER analysis for orthogonal space-time block codes on arbitrary fading channels with imperfect channel estimation

In this contribution, we provide an exact bit error rate (BER) analysis of orthogonal space-time block codes over arbitrarily distributed (possibly correlated) block fading channels with imperfect channel estimation. The transmitted symbols belong to …

Exact BER analysis for square orthogonal space-time block codes on arbitrary fading channels with imperfect channel estimation

In this contribution, we examine the effect of imperfect channel estimation on the bit error rate (BER) performance of square orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs). The propagation channels from the N-t transmit antennas to each of the N-r …
