Co-channel interference suppression techniques for STBC OFDM system over doubly selective channel (original) (raw)

2015, TENCON 2015 - 2015 IEEE Region 10 Conference

The Alamouti Space Time Block Code (STBC) based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is very attractive in frequency selective channel as the channels remain constant over Alamouti code period (two consecutive OFDM symbol block). But when the channel is fast fading, this assumption does not hold good and causes co-channel interference (CCI). Hence, the simple Alamouti detection method is not sufficient to recover the original transmitted signal from the mixed transmitted signals at the receiver side. To cancel the effects of CCI, several detection techniques are addressed namely SIC, DMLD, DZFD, DF and ML. The ML method has the optimum performance but the computational complexity is very high. Therefore, we propose a suboptimal MDF detection which provides comparable performance to that of ML with very less computational complexity. Finally, the performances of the above detection methods are compared in terms of symbol error rate (SER) and computational complexity for STBC OFDM system over doubly selective channel.
