Outage performance of STBC MB-OFDM UWB

Outage performance is investigated for space-time block coded multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultra-wideband systems. As the channel model considers the log-normal shadowing, the resultant signal to noise ratio (SNR) follows a chi-squared log-normal distribution. Based on this, we derive the outage probability theoretically, which is verified by simulations.
