Advances in wireless technologies, such as WiMAX [1], allow high data rates and high reliability through the use of MIMO-OFDM. However, they are not optimally designed for broadcasting. The nature of the wireless medium may cause an entire frame to be in outage with little chance of recovery. One strategy to overcome this deficit is to employ diversity embedding, which protect different bits with different diversity orders. Such codes exhibit the property that even if the entire frame is in outage, a subset of the frame may still be reliably recovered. In this paper, we present space-time codes designed for MIMO-OFDM systems which achieve diversity embedding. We demonstrate how these codes can increase PSNR for video broadcasting in WiMAX.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
