Summary:
The worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) is a new candidate for next generation wireless access techniques. The characteristics of the high datareception rates and wide radio coverage can offer good solution for "last mile" services. However, this OFDM-based system can be further improved by the MIMO architecture which was little discussed in the literature. Therefore, in this paper, we try to combine the WiMAX system with spacefrequency block coding (SFBC) scheme. The simulation results reveal that the proposed system can achieve better performance than traditional architecture specified in the IEEE 802.16 standard.
