VII Network Layer or Steam Layer Design] One most well-known space-time block coding (STBC) design is Alamouti code, which is the simplest open-loop orthogonal STBC. Alamouti code was designed for a two-transmit antenna system. It is a rate-1 code. It is the first open-loop encoding method with full diversity. Though orthogonal STBC has the advantages of relatively easy receiver design and full diversity, it is known that full-rate STBC don’t exist for more than 2 transmit antenna. From previous discussion, if two orthogobal STBCs are superimposed together and each of them experiences differen

VII Network Layer or Steam Layer Design] [Precoded OFDM for BCMCS, 3GPP2 TSG-C NTAH C00-20080218-006R1] Though hierarchical modulations have been widely adopted for enhancing broadcast multicast services, several issues are still left for future enhancements. The first consideration is the inter-layer interference (ILI) between layers. The ILI from enhancement layer(s) to base layer(s) is not additive white Gaussian. The base-layer achievable spectral efficiency is actually dented by ILI more than expected. In addition, for example, when orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is employed on the carrier, there is a frequency selectivity issue on the layered transmission in fad
