Frequently Asked Questions (13)
Q2. What is the correlation matrix RF in (20)?
Similar to the correlation matrix RF in (20), Q0 can be expressed asQ0 = W0 diag ( δ20 , δ 2 1 , . . . , δ 2 L−1 ) WH0where W0 is defined in (36).
Q3. How was the SF code used for Mt = 3 transmit antennas constructed?
The used full-diversity SF trellis code for Mt = 3 transmit antennas was constructed by applying the repetition mapping [18] to the 16-state QPSK ST trellis code proposed in [33].
Q4. What is the coding advantage of a complex vector?
The remaining problem is to design a set of complex symbol vectors, X = [x1,1 · · · x1,ΓMt · · · xK,1 · · · xK,ΓMt ], such that the coding advantage ζSTF is as large as possible.
Q5. What is the maximum diversity order of a SF code?
The proposed repetition-coded STF code design ensures full diversity at the price of symbol rate decrease by a factor of 1/K (over K OFDM blocks) compared to the symbol rate of the underlying SF code.
Q6. What is the spectral efficiency of the resulting STF codes?
the spectral efficiency of the resulting STF codes was 1 bit/s/Hz (omitting the cyclic prefix), which is independent of the number of jointly encoded OFDM blocks K.The performance of the full-rate STF codes are depicted in Figs. 5–7 for the three different temporal correlation scenarios.
Q7. What is the advantage of this approach?
The advantage of this approach is that any full-diversity SF code (block or trellis) can be used to design full-diversity STF codes.
Q8. What is the maximum diversity order of the MIMO-OFDM systems?
In narrowband MIMO wireless communications, the maximum achievable diversity order is MtMr for quasi-staticfading channels, while in the SF-coded broadband MIMOOFDM systems, the maximum achievable diversity order is LMtMr.
Q9. What is the simplest way to model the MIMO channel?
The authors assume that the MIMO channel is spatially uncorrelated, so the channel coefficients αki,j(l)’s are independent for different indices (i, j).
Q10. What is the spectral efficiency of the SF code for Mt = 2?
Since the modulation was the same in all four cases, the spectral efficiency of the resulting STF codes were 1, 0.5, 0.33, and 0.25 bit/s/Hz (omitting the cyclic prefix) for K = 1, 2, 3, 4, respectively.
Q11. How can the authors achieve diversity order of MtMrrank(RT) for any?
The authors can also design a class of STF codes that can achieve a diversity order of ΓMtMrrank(RT) for any fixed integer Γ (1 ≤ Γ ≤ L) by extending the full-rate full-diversity SF code construction method (coding over one OFDM block, i.e., the K = 1 case) proposed in [25].
Q12. What is the general framework for the performance analysis of MIMO-OFDM systems?
the authors developed a general framework for the performance analysis of STF-coded MIMO-OFDM systems, incorporating the ST and SF coding approaches as special cases.

Dr. Liu is the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, the prime proposer and architect of the new IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION FORENSICS AND SECURITY, and the founding Editor-in-Chief of EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing.
