Title: Apparatus and method for encoding/decoding space time block code in a mobile communication system using multiple input multiple output scheme
Inventor: KATZ MARCOS DANIEL
IPC: H04B7/04
Filed: 2005-05-04
Abstract: Method and apparatus for encoding a space time block code in a transmitter employing transmit antennas are provided. If a signal to be transmitted is input, the transmit signal is pre-encoded according to a preset pre-encoding matrix. The pre-encoded signal is space-time mapped according to a number of the transmit antennas to employ a preset space time block coding scheme. The space-time mapped signal is transmitted through the transmit antennas by applying the scheme to the space-time mapped signal. The pre-encoded signal is divided according to transmit antenna groups into which the transmit antennas are classified. The preset pre-encoding matrix is generated by generating a Vandermonde matrix corresponding to the number of the transmit antennas, puncturing selected sequential columns of the Vandermonde matrix, and shifting predetermined rows of the punctured Vandermonde matrix. This can be useful in maximizing a diversity gain and a data transmission rate.
