Channel modeling of layered space-time code under frequency-selective fading channel

Abstract

The theoretic capacity of V-BLAST systems has been shown to be significantly higher than that of single antenna systems in Rayleigh fading channel. This is why research on V-BLAST systems has been a hotspot recently. In an attempt to study V-BLAST systems, a lot researches have been focused on flat fading channel rather than frequency selective fading channel. Aiming at this, a novel channel modeling of V-BLAST systems under frequency selective fading channel is proposed in this paper, extending research of V-BLAST systems from flat fading channel to frequency selective fading channel.
