Tight error bounds for space-time orthogonal block codes under slow Rayleigh flat fading
The performance of space-time orthogonal block (STOB) codes over slow Rayleigh fading channels and maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding is investigated. Two Bonferroni-type bounds (one upper bound and one lower bound) for the symbol error rate (SER) and bit error rate (BER) of the system are obtained. T...

Zusammenfassung: | The performance of space-time orthogonal block (STOB) codes over slow Rayleigh fading channels and maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding is investigated. Two Bonferroni-type bounds (one upper bound and one lower bound) for the symbol error rate (SER) and bit error rate (BER) of the system are obtained. The bounds are expressed in terms of the pairwise error probabilities (PEPs) and the two-dimensional pairwise error probabilities (2-D PEPs) of the transmitted symbols. Furthermore, the bounds can be efficiently evaluated and they hold for arbitrary (nonstandard) signaling schemes and mappings. Numerical results demonstrate that the bounds are very accurate in estimating the performance of STOB codes. In particular, the upper and lower bounds often coincide even at low channel signal-to-noise ratios, large constellation sizes, and large diversity orders. |
