Abstract
This letter proposes a novel block differentially encoded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing for multicarrier transmissions over frequency-selective fading channels. Choosing appropriate system parameters, we divide the set of correlated subchannels into subsets of independent subchannels. Within each subset, differential unitary space-time modulation is performed by treating each subchannel as a transmit antenna. In addition to low complexity, the proposed system enjoys maximum niultipath diversity and high coding advantages. Analytic evaluation and corroborating simulations reveal its performance merits. Differential encoding, diversity methods, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM).
