Combined beamforming and space-time block coding for wireless communications

This paper presents un approach for beamforming based on third-order cyclic statistics. The approach has fairly well accuracy. Further, a new scheme joint beamforming and space-time block coding is suggested that multiple antenna arrays transmit at base station and multi-antenna elements receive at mobile terminal. This scheme improves the receiving error performance of mobile terminal and increases the capacity of the entire wireless communication system. The computer simulation validates that the aforementioned scheme is superior and effective.
