Transmit Diversity Vs Beamforming for Multi-User OFDM Systems

Overview In an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system, downlink beamforming can be implemented either before IDFT (frequency domain) or after IDFT (time domain) module in a base station transmitter. This paper compares Pre-IDFT downlink beamforming with Space-Time Block coded and Space-Frequency block coded transmit diversity schemes for 4Ã—1 downlink multi-user OFDM (OFDM-TDMA and OFDMA) systems. The study is performed for indoor micro and pico cells and urban macro cells. Regardless of the multiple access schemes, it is found that beamforming always performs better in outdoor environment, where angular spread is lower, thus spatial correlation is higher.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
