Abstract: Disclosed is a device for allocating transmission power using a symbol error rate (SER) for orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC) in a wireless communication system. The device includes: a plurality of antennas, which are distributed geographically and independently linked to a central processing unit; a receiver to select an optimum subset of the SER performance, using a preset power allocation to each of available antenna subset combinations, and sending the selected subset to a transmitter; and a central processing unit to allocate power by applying an OSTBC symbol having a unit average power to the optimum subset from the receiver.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for adaptively allocating transmission power for beamforming combined with orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBC) in a distributed wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of sub-arrays for beamforming, which are geographically distributed and each of which comprises a plurality of distributed antennas placed in random groups; and a central processing unit for identifying performances of subsets by applying a predetermined power allocation scheme according to subsets which can be obtained by combining the sub-arrays, by means of a Nakagami fading parameter and information about large-scale fading of each of the sub-arrays, fed back from a receiving party, for determining a subset having a best performance as an optimal subset according to the identified performances, and for performing power allocation based on the subset set as the optimal subset.

Abstract: A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system includes a base station and a relay station that are connected through an optical fiber. The relay station wirelessly transmits through a plurality of antennas a signal received from the base station. The base station includes a plurality of symbol mappers for mapping input bit streams into a plurality of symbol signals; a MIMO multiplexer generating a plurality of exchange signals by exchanging bits of the symbol signals; and a plurality of code spreaders generating a plurality of spread signals by band spreading the exchange signals.

Abstract: An apparatus that adaptively allocates transmission power for beam-forming combined with orthogonal space time block codes in a distributed wireless communication system, the apparatus including: sub-arrays for beam-forming, which are geographically distributed and each of which includes a plurality of distributed antennas placed in random groups. A central processing unit provides predetermined combinable power allocation schemes according to subsets in a plurality of the sub-arrays, identifying performances of the schemes by using information on large-scale fading of each of the sub-arrays fed back from a receiving party, setting a subset having best performance as an optimal subset according to the identified performances, and performing power allocation according thereto.
