This letter proposes a robust detection scheme of orthogonal space-time block codes that face very fast fading channels. The proposed detection scheme employs a QR decomposition on the channel matrix and minimizes noise enhancement and impact of channel estimation errors which occur in a conventional detection scheme. It is shown by simulations that the proposed detection scheme outperforms the conventional detection scheme when the channel fading is very fast.
A detector for space-time block coding is proposed to combat time-selective fading. To suppress both noise and interference, a minimum mean square error (MMSE) based detector is introduced for space-time block coding. It is shown by simulations that the proposed detector outperforms the conventional detectors when the channel is time-selective fading.
