Layered Steered Space-Time-Spreading-Aided Generalized MC DS-CDMA

Abstract-We present a novel trifunctional multiple-input- multiple-output (MIMO) scheme that intrinsically amalgamates space-time spreading (STS) to achieve a diversity gain and a Vertical Bell Labs layered space-time (V-BLAST) scheme to attain a multiplexing gain in the context of generalized multi...

Description
Summary:Abstract-We present a novel trifunctional multiple-input- multiple-output (MIMO) scheme that intrinsically amalgamates space-time spreading (STS) to achieve a diversity gain and a Vertical Bell Labs layered space-time (V-BLAST) scheme to attain a multiplexing gain in the context of generalized multicarrier direct-sequence code-division multiple access (MC DS-CDMA), as well as beamforming. Furthermore, the proposed system employs both time- and frequency-domain spreading to increase the number of users, which is also combined with a user-grouping technique to reduce the effects of multiuser interference.
