An interleave-division-multiplexing MISO system with partial CSI at transmitter

We treat the performance analysis and optimization of an interleave-division-multiplexing (IDM) multiple-input-single-output (MISO) system with partial channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters and an iterative (turbo) receiver. We propose a general methodology to analyze and evaluate the performance of such an IDM-MISO system. In particular, an SNR tracking method is proposed to calculate the output SNR of the soft-input soft-output IDM detector. The extrinsic mutual information transfer chart technique is employed to analyze the performance of the entire system. More specifically, the repetition decoder and the low-density parity check decoder are considered for the uncoded IDM system and the coded IDM system, respectively. Furthermore, based on the above analytical framework, we present the optimal transmit strategy for the IDM-MISO system with an imperfect CSI at the transmitter. Extensive simulations are performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed IDM schemes under the MISO channels with different correlation statistics. Our results show that the proposed IDM-MISO scheme can outperform the existing space-time block code schemes in the low-rate transmission scenario. © 2007 IEEE.
