TY - JOUR T1 - Transmitter diversity for OFDM systems and its impact on high-rate data wireless networks. JF - IEEE Journal on selected areas in communications A1 - Ye Li LA - English UL - https://tuklas.up.edu.ph/Record/UP-99796217609350701 AB - Transmitter diversity and down-link beamforming can be used in high-rate data wireless networks with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for capacity improvement. We compare the performance of delay, permutation and space-time coding transmitter diversity for high-rate packet data wireless networks using OFDM modulation. For these systems, relatively high block error rates, such as 10%, are acceptable assuming the use of effective automatic retransmission request (ARQ). As an alternative, we also consider using the same number of transmitter antennas for down-link beamforming as we consider for transmitter diversity. The investigation indicates that delay transmitter diversity with quaternary phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation and adaptive antenna arrays provides a good quality of service (QoS) with low retransmission probability, while space-time coding transmitter diversity provides high peak data rates. Down-link beamforming together with adaptive antenna arrays, however, provides a higher capacity than transmitter diversity for typical mobile environments KW - ARQ. KW - OFDM modulation.
