Space-frequency coding in the presence of partial band noise jamming

Abstract

Performance of orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) system equipped with space-frequency coding (SFC) is considered in the presence of partial band noise jamming (PBNJ). The bit error probability (BEP) expressions are derived for OFDMA with and without SFC in a frequency-selective fading environment. Analysis and simulation results show that SFC increases the resistance of OFDMA against the PBNJ and reduces the BEP considerably
