Abstract
Virtual Antenna Arrays were recently introduced that allow the application of Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) capacity enhancement techniques to mobile terminals with a limited number of antenna elements Ill. This paper investigates the performance improvements of deployed higher order Space-Time Block Codes (STBCs) to such Virtual Antenna Arrays. The main idea is to emulate a (n(Tx) transmit antennas, m(Rx) receive antennas) diversity scheme [2]. This approach successfully deals with the problem of just one receiving antenna in a handset. Simulations results indicate a drastic improvement in error performance over (n(Tx),1) schemes.
