Abstract

In this paper we provide the simulation results for the bit error rate (BER) performance of Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems supporting 96Mbps data-rate based on IEEE 802.11a OFDM PHY layer under various channel models. Spatial multiplexing system combined with space-time trellis coding (SM-STTC) undergoes the most significant performance degradation in correlated channel environments compared to that in an uncorrelated channel. Spatial multiplexing system combined with space-time block coding (SM-STBC) and hybrid SM-STBC system produce similar results in correlated fading channels. V-BLAST system achieves comparable performance to other systems under correlated channels when receive diversity is exploited.
