Abstract:
In this paper, a performance analysis is presented for space-frequency block coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SFBC-OFDM) and Frequency Switched Transmit Diversity OFDM (FSTD-OFDM) schemes in the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) system over MIMO fading channels. Analytical expressions for the average BER, average channel capacity and the average throughput of the system are derived for two different MIMO schemes, SFBC-OFDM and FSTD-OFDM, defined in LTE, and are evaluated numerically. Monte-Carlo simulation results are also provided to verify the accuracy of the mathematical analysis. It is shown that the results obtained from Monte-Carlo simulations match closely with those obtained from the derived mathematical formulas.
