Implementation of WIMAX STBC-OFDM (IEEE802.16.d) Baseband Transceiver on a Multi-Core Software-Defined Radio Platform

IEEE 802.16d-2004 has been developed for WIMAX wireless communication which is based on OFDM technology and this enables going towards the 4G , in wireless communication reception This paper investigates approach to the adaptation of the WIMAX IEEE802.16d baseband the Physical Layer performance of single-input single-output (SISO) wireless communications systems, as well as multi antenna techniques such as multiple-input single-output (MISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the last two utilizing the Alamouti-based space-time block coding (STBC) technique. All cases are based on the IEEE 802.16d standard with OFDM using halves values of coding rates, 16-QAM, OFDM using the SFF SDR Development Platform. These modeled are tested, and its performance was found under International Telecommunications Union (ITU) channel models are selected for the wireless channel in the simulation process. The performance results of the simulated SISO, MISO and MIMO systems are compared among themselves
