Summary :

Quasi-orthogonal Space Time Block Code (STBC) was designed to provide full transmission rate when using more than two antennas. However, it cannot have a full diversity gain because of the interference resulted from its quasi orthogonality property. In order to achieve full diversity from quasi-orthogonal STBC, the interference can be removed by a Simple Correlation Canceling (SCC) algorithm which improves a system performance significantly. However, the SCC algorithm has a disadvantage that produces noise enhancement, thereby resulting in performance degradation. Accordingly, without increasing an extra system complexity, an unequal power allocation scheme in a transmitter is proposed to achieve a better system performance than the conventional STBC system using the SCC algorithm. Also, the unequal power allocation scheme enables a receiver to use a simple decoding procedure that does not produce noise enhancement.
