Performance of Transmit Diversity Using Space-Time Block Codes in EDGE

"Transmission diversity schemes have been emerging as an attractive solution in order to combine fading effect. Space-time block codes (STBC) with two antennas can provide similar order diversity as maximal-ratio receiver combining (MMRC). In this paper a transmit diversity scheme using STBC with two antennas is applied for EDGE/EGPRS system and its results evaluated in a interference-limited scenario."
