Summary:
This paper presents comprehensive comparisons on the block error rate (BLER) performance of rate-one open-loop (OL) transmit diversity schemes with four antennas for discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-precoded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). One candidate scheme employs a quasi-orthogonal (QO) - space-time block code (STBC) in which four-branch minimum mean-square error (MMSE) combining is achieved at the cost of residual inter-code interference (ICI). Another candidate employs a combination of the STBC and selection transmit diversity called time switched transmit diversity (TSTD) (or frequency switched transmit diversity (FSTD)). We apply a turbo frequency domain equalizer (FDE) associated with iterative decision-feedback channel estimation (DFCE) using soft-symbol estimation to reduce channel estimation (CE) error. The turbo FDE includes an ICI canceller to reduce the influence of the residual ICI for the QO-STBC. Based on link-level simulation results, we show that a combination of the STBC and TSTD (or FSTD) is suitable as a four-antenna OL transmit diversity scheme for DFT-precoded OFDMA using the turbo FDE and iterative DFCE.
