THE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF PRECODED SPACE-TIME FREQUENCY MIMO-GFDM OVER RAYLEIGH FADING CHANNELS

Abstract

The physical layer is implemented in the present communication era with new multicarrier modulation schemes such as Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing with Multi-Input and Multi-Output (MIMO-GFDM) antenna systems to achieve good spectral efficiency and diversity order. This paper presents precoded Space-Time-Frequency MIMO-GFDM performance analysis to improve the bit error rate performance without increasing transmission power and bandwidth compared to conventional techniques. The proposed system also enhances the diversity order over frequency selective fading channels. In general, we need to perform channel matrix inversion operations at the receiver or channel precoding matrix operations at the transmitter to detect the symbols of MIMO-GFDM systems. This paper's proposed scheme completes the same task without performing channel matrix inversion. Orthogonal transform techniques such as Haar, Harley, Walsh-Hadamard, and Slant transforms are used as precoders at the transmitter for the proposed scheme. The simulation results are validated on the MATLAB working platform. We have compared the bit error rate of the PSTF-MIMO-GFDM system with Space-Time (ST) and Space Frequency (SF) as baseline schemes and different orthogonal transform precoding techniques.
