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 …
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 …
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 …
