MIMO Transceiver Combining Space-Frequency Spreading and Block-Coding

This paper presents a multiple-access MIMO wireless transceiver combining space- and frequency-domain spreadings with a frequency-domain block-coding strategy. Spreading across space (transmit antennas) and frequency (subcarriers) adds resilience against deep channel fades while providing space and frequency diversities, and block-coding enables multiple-access transmission. The merits of the proposed MIMO transceiver using a Zero Forcing (ZF) receiver is confirmed by means of some computer simulation results.
