Abstract:
1. A process for decoding a signal being representative of a Space Time Block coding (STBC) or Space Frequency Block coding (SFBC) based on a transmission, firstly, of a pair of finite-alphabet complex symbols x 1 and x 2 , and secondly, of symbols −x 2 * and x 1 *, wherein * is a conjugate operation, during two parallel channels (SFBC), wherein the process comprises: receiving an OFDM signal, from at least one antenna, by a receiver comprising one single antenna; performing an OFDM demodulation in order to generate N frequency domain representations of the received OFDM signal, each N frequency domain representation being associated to one carrier; performing a decoding process applied on the demodulated OFDM signal, in order to group the received OFDM signal in word code, Y=(y decoding the word code, Y=(y wherein H is a matrix, h wherein decoding the word code comprises:
