Abstract

A time-varying multipath channel causes co-channel interference (CCI) as well as inter-carrier interference (ICI) in a space-time block coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (STBC-OFDM) system using two transmit antennas and an conventional simplified decoding scheme (SDS). In this paper, we derive the power of the CCI as a function of normalized channel variation rate. Also, we propose a successive interference cancellation (SIC) technique to improve the performance of the STBC-OFDM by considering the CCI mechanism. The proposed SIC technique can compensate the CCI to some extend with slightly increased complexity compared to the SDS.
