<p>In this paper, we introduce a proposed scheme to enhance the performance of orthogonal space time block code (OSTBC) with four time slots and two antennas by combing OSTBC with random beamforming to can use it in the downlink transmission for a mobile system.  Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system has been recognized as one of the most promising techniques to achieve a good service and increase data rate in the next generation (4&amp;5G) broadband wireless communications. So, we apply Space time block code (STBC) for MIMO-OFDM system with linear decoding.  Also, we perform STBC with beamforming for MIMO-OFDM system to improve the performance of a system. Simulation results show that the beamforming improves bit error rate (BER) performance of OSTBC and STBC-OFDM for different types of modulation and diversity.</p>

The quasi-orthogonal space–time block code (QO-STBC) was introduced to achieve a full transmission rate for the four antennas system. In this paper, a decoding method for the QO-STBC is proposed to improve the bit-error-rate (BER) and to solve a rank-deficient problem. The proposed algorithm is based on the minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) technique. To overcome the implementation problem from the MMSE, an estimation method of the noise variance is developed in this paper. The proposed algorithm is implemented without matrix inversion, therefore, the proposed algorithm achieves a better BER than the conventional algorithms, as it has a low computational complexity. The simulation results show the low BER of the proposed algorithm in a Rayleigh fading channel.
