MIMO STBC Adaptive Array for Fast Fading Channel

We introduce a novel configuration for a multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system in mobile communication over fast fading channels using space-time block coding (STBC) and adaptive array. The proposed scheme adopts the simultaneous transmission of data and pilot signals which reduces control errors caused by delay of obtaining channel state information (CSI). Data and pilot signals are then encoded using a space-time block code and are transmitted from two transmit antennas. In order to overcome the fast fading problem, implementation of adaptive array using recursive least squares (RLS) algorithms is considered at the base station. Through computer simulation, it is shown that the proposed scheme in this way can overcome Doppler spread in higher frequencies and suppress co-channel interference up to N - 1 users for N receiving antennas.
