Abstract
A new quasi-orthogonal space-time block code (QO-STBC) scheme, based on eigen value decomposition (EVD), is explored in this paper. The new scheme can significantly reduce the QO-STBC decoding complexity at receiver and achieves better bit-error rate (BER) performance as well. With EVD manipulations, the detection matrix and the channel matrix can be redefined to remove all interference terms which come from other antennas, and therefore the conventional maximum likelihood (ML) decoding method with less complexity can be applied. Moreover the new scheme improves the BER performance significantly. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are presented in this paper to show the validation of this new scheme.
