Abstract: A Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) single carrier wireless communication system is provided. The system includes a coder for performing block coding on symbols, an extender for collecting the block-coded symbols during one transmit (Tx) signal duration and for performing repetitive extension on the collected symbol vectors by an interval required in a frequency domain, an inserter for inserting ‘0’ to the repetitively extended symbol vectors so that the vectors are mutually orthogonal in a time domain, and a combiner for multiplying the ‘0’-inserted symbol vectors by a phase component so that the vectors are mutually orthogonal in the frequency domain and thereafter for combining the symbol vectors to generate a Tx signal for each antenna.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed for transmitting and receiving schemes for multiuser single-carrier space time spreading (STS) with frequency domain equalization.

Abstract: A single carrier transmission scheme which utilizes space-frequency block coding and frequency domain equalization (SF-SCFDE) is proposed for frequency selective and fast fading channel. It is shown that employing this technique in slow fading environment depicts the same performance as that obtained with space-time coding scheme. However, in the more difficult fast fading channels, the proposed scheme exhibits much better performance.

Abstract: An apparatus for transmitting a signal in a communication system includes: MT number of transmission antennas; a space-time encoder for generating MT number of transmission symbol streams by space-time encoding MT number of modulation symbol streams in accordance with a space-time encoding scheme determined by a predetermined control, and transmitting each of the MT transmission symbol streams through a corresponding transmission antenna from among the MT transmission antennas; and a controller for determining the space-time encoding scheme based on an iteration number of transmission, which indicates the number of times by which an information data bit stream corresponding to the MT modulation symbol streams has been transmitted.
