BER Analysis of spatial multiplexing and STBC MIMO-OFDM System

Abstract

Higher data rates and reliability have been problems in the wireless communication systems from the outset. It is essential and necessary even by deal with multiple antennas at both ends; simultaneously fading occurs to each link can be considered due to multipath propagation this leads to increase BER performance at the receiver. We can achieve reliability and high data rates through MIMO-OFDM with STBC and spatial multiplexing techniques are used respectively. This paper explores to analyze different fading channels (Rayleigh and Nakagami) under AWGN environment on spatial multiplexing (SM) based MIMO systems, Zero forcing with Successive interference Cancellation (ZF-SIC), MMSE-SIC and ML equalization techniques are used to channel equalization. And of transmit diversity, STBC based MIMO-OFDM systems, Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) technique is used. Simulation results showed with various modulation techniques (BPSK/QPSK/64QAM/32PSK) both Systems. Furthermore, BER performance of coded MIMO-Wi-Max systems also describes to transmit diversity.
