Title
Modeling and performance evaluations of Alamouti technique in a single frequency network for DVB-T2.
Abstract
Alamouti space–frequency coding provides additional frequency diversity, especially in multipath propagation environments. This article addresses a new modeling of the Alamouti code multiple input single output (MISO) in a single frequency network(SFN) for two, three, and four transmitters, and different types of coding and modulations in the DVB-T2 (Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial second generation). Classical SFN, Alamouti MISO, and combined SFN with Alamouti MISO (called SFN-2x1 Alamouti MISO) are compared and analyzed. Performance evaluations are made for two, three, or four transmission antennas through 0-dB Echo profile, TU6 mobile channel, unbalanced received power and rotated constellation. The obtained results show clearly that the performance of an SFN network using 0-dB Echo profile with Alamouti MISO is only better than a pure SFN for two and three antennas. Moreover, an SFN based on four antennas (receiving from four antennas) has almost the same performance as SFN-2x1 Alamouti MISO.
