ST Block Codes: M-QAM block codes with orthogonal structure.
ST Bit-interleaved Codes
Diversity Gains and Coding Gains are determined by the rank and determinant of certain
matrices constructed from complex codewords. Recall that the transmitted signals overlap,
therefore, the ST code must have a structure that allows to separate the signals at the receiver.

Multicarrier Transmission
21DIEGM UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI UDINE CISM COURSE 2004
Multicarrier Transmission Principles
Motivation
– Simplify the equalization task in wide band frequency selective channels.
Principle
– Divide the spectrum in a number of narrow band sub-channels (flat faded).
– Allocate transmission power over the good channels (water filling principle).
Applications
– ADSL : advanced digital subscriber line– DAB : digital audio broadcast– DVB : digital video broadcast– IEEE 802.11 and Hiperlan II : wireless LAN– proposed although killed for 3rd generation cellular– likely to be chosen for next generation cellular.

FMT, cont.ed
The presence of some sub-channel ISI can be handled with
Linear or DFE equalization.
Optimal maximum likelihood detection (Viterbi equalization).
The sub-channel equalizer has low complexity since the sub-channel impulse response is short (sub-channel is narrow band).
Practical issues (real world !!)
Extra ICI and ISI because of
- Overlapping sub-channels (finite duration TX pulses)
- Timing Errors (Time Offsets) and Carrier Frequency Offsets.

Remarks
DMT-OFDM is an elegant simple solution to overcome channel frequency selectivity.
FMT can yield higher spectral efficiency than DMT.
FMT is more robust to time and frequency offsets.
FMT is more complex than DMT since it requires filtering and equalization.

UWB Main Characteristics
FCC definition of UWB:
Signal bandwidth > 500 MHz or Bandwidth / Center-frequency ≥ 0.2
Most popular schemes are based on impulse modulation with short duration pulses
Simple base band (carrier less) implementation.
Good penetration properties.
Good spatial and temporal resolution.
Co-existence with other radio systems.
Very tight emission masks have been set. Therefore, practical application is limited to
short range communications.

• Bi-Phase PAM modulation or Time-Hopped modulation.
• Guard time to cope with the channel time dispersion.

With practical channel estimation we get a tolerable performance loss.

Remarks
UWB systems allow very high transmission speed (say in the order of Gb/s)
Potentially, their implementation is simple, however,
– Optimal receivers may be too complex.
– All-digital receiver is not currently applicable.

Conclusions
Reliable spectral efficient transmission over wireless channels is an Algorithmic Challenge.
The state of the art is represented by
Multiple Antenna Technology
Multi-carrier Modulation
Ultra Wide Band Transmission.
A powerful air interface allows for
Higher receiver sensitivity (coverage)
Robustness to co-channel interference (spectral efficiency)
Lower transmission power
Simpler processing complexity.
