Abstract

In this paper, space-time block coding (STBC) is applied to single-carrier distributed antenna network (SC-DAN). By using the frequency-domain STBC coded joint transmit/receive diversity (FD-STBC-JTRD) for the downlink while using the well-known frequency-domain space-time transmit diversity (FD-STTD) for the uplink, the diversity order is given by the product of the number of distributed antennas and that of mobile terminal (MT) antennas. It is shown by computer simulation that the downlink and uplink can achieve almost the same bit error rate (BER) performance and that by increasing the number of distributed antennas, the BER performance can be significantly improved while keeping the MT complexity low.
