Abstract
We introduce a space-time block-coded orthogonal frequency-division multipl exing (STBC-OFDM) scheme for frequency-selective fading channels which does not require channel knowledge either at the transmitter or at the receiver . The decoding algorithm is based on generalized maximum-likelihood sequenc e estimation. We investigate the performance of the proposed scheme over tw o-tap Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation results show the performance to be near optimum.
