Abstract

Concatenation of space-time (ST) coding with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) has gained much interest recently. In this work, we derive the exact pairwise error probability (PEP) of space-frequency (SF) codes for MIMO OFDM Systems. Based on the exact PEP, we derive the tighter upper and lower bounds for the PEP. For asymptotically high SNRs, the design criteria for SF codes differ significantly from those for ST codes over flat fading channels. In this paper, by drawing an analogy between SF and ST codes, we show that when the number of receive antennas is large, the minimum Euclidean distance among code words dominates the performance of SF codes. Therefore, SF codes can be optimized by using the Euclidean-distance criterion valid for AWGN channels. Simulation results are given to show that the results valid for a number of receive antennas tending to infinity still provide correct indications when the number of antennas is small.
