Space Time Block Coding HARQ scheme for Highly Frequency Selective Channels

— We proposed a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) packet transmission scheme for a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system in a frequency selective fading channel. The scheme combines Alamouti space-time block coding with MIMO-HARQ and single-carrier frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE). It is shown that the technique works in a frequency flat fading channel as well.
