Abstract

Multiple antennas can be used in wireless systems to achieve good quality of service and high data rate communication. Recently, efficient space-time-frequency (STF) codes have been developed to improve the diversity gain. This paper aims at performance analysis of multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO–OFDM) system using STF Coding and random beamforming. The proposed approach which combines beamforming with STF code offers improved performance over STF in term of bit error rates (BER). It is also observed that the proposed scheme gives better performance as compared to the combined space-time block code (STBC) with beamforming. Computational complexity of the proposed scheme is also calculated.
