Abstract

We consider the use of block spreading in a multicarrier system to gain diversity advantage when employed over multipath fading channels. In particular, we use block spreading matrices as a full rate "inner code", together with an error correcting outer code to form a concatenated system suitable for turbo-iterative detection. The resulting coded system is shown to outperform standard coded OFDM as well as the rotated spreading approach of Bury et. al.
