The 5G technology is a promising technology to cope with the increasing demand for higher data rate and quality of service. In this paper, two proposed techniques are implemented for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) self-heterodyne OFDM system to enhance data rate and minimize the bit error rate (BER). In both of the two proposed techniques, Band Selection (BS) approach is used, once with Space Time Block Coded (STBC) for the first proposed technique (BS- STBC), and once again with Frequency Space Time Block Coded (FSTBC) for the second proposed technique (BS-FSTBC). The use of the BS in the proposed techniques helps to choose the sub-band with better subchannels gains for sending the information and consequently, minimize the BER. Moreover, the use of the FSTBC instead of STBC helps to use the spectral efficiently and hence increase data rate. The simulation results show that the proposed techniques BS-STBC and BS-FSTBC, for the MIMO self-heterodyne OFDM system, provide a great enhancement in the BER performance when compared to the conventional techniques. Moreover, the simulation results show that the first proposed technique BS-FSTBC outperform the second propose technique BS-STBC in term of the BER performance.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless technology in combination with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is an attractive technique for next-generation wireless systems. However, the performance of wireless links is severely degraded due to various channel impairments which cause a decoding failure and lead to packet loss at the receiver. One technique to cope with this problem is the rateless space-time block code (RSTBC). This paper presents experimental results on the performance of a 2×2 MIMO-OFDM system with RSTBC as measured in a testbed implemented with field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The average bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated experimentally, and the results agree closely with simulation and analytical upper bound. It has been shown that RSTBC can be implemented in real-world scenarios and guarantee the reliability of loss-prone wireless channels.

<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>

In this research, performance of Turbo-Space Time Block Coded and Turbo-Vertical Bell Laboratories Layered Space Time coded Multiple Input Multiple Output Wireless Communication System is compared and investigated to find which one is better under which circumstances. The Turbo Encoder accepts binary bits as input and generates turbo encoded bits as output which is sent to 64 QAM modulator. These 64 QAM Modulated symbols are further mapped using Space Time Block Code and Vertical Bell Laboratories Layered Space Time code for Turbo-Space Time Block Coded system and Turbo-Vertical Bell Laboratories Layered Space Time coded system respectively and then divided into several streams based on number of transmit antennas before transmission. It is found that there is 3 to 22 dB coding gain at 10-5 for using Turbo-STBC instead of using Turbo-VBLAST for 2 or 3 or 4 transmit antennas and 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 receive antennas. On the other hand, at low SNR STBC shows 1-2 b/s/Hz improvement in capacity compare to VBLAST but capacity declines significantly at high SNR for using STBC. It is also observed that VBLAST improves the capacity around 5 to 15 b/s/Hz at high SNR.

In the recent past, a lot of researches have been put into designing a Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) system to provide multimedia services with higher quality and at higher data rate. On par with these requirements, a novel Quasi Orthogonal Space Time Block Code (QOSTBC) scheme based on code word diversity is proposed, which is a multi-dimensional approach, in this paper. The term code word diversity is coined, since the information symbols were spread across many code words in addition to traditional time and spatial spreading, without increasing transmission power and bandwidth. The receiver with perfect channel state information estimates the transmitted symbols with less probability of error, as more number of samples is available to estimate given number of symbols due to the extra diversity due to code words. The simulation results show a significant improvement in the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the proposed scheme when compared with the conventional schemes.
