Abstract

In this paper, we present an over-the-air (OTA) performance analysis of Grassmannian signaling strategies in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) single-user multiple-input multiple-output (SU-MIMO) scenario. Specifically, we compare the Grassmannian signaling technique to the differential Alamouti scheme and a novel space-time non-coherent scheme recently proposed in the context of 5G. As a performance benchmark we include in the comparison the coherent Alamouti scheme. We study the practical impairments associated to frequency synchronization mismatches (frequency offsets), as well as the effects of time-varying channels for different spectral efficiencies. The experimental results show that non-coherent techniques are more robust to the aforementioned impairments than the coherent Alamouti approach, while Grassmannian methods are close to the differential Alamouti scheme with 2 transmit antennas.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The (complex) dimension of the Grassmann manifold \(\mathbb {G}\left( T,M\right) \) is \({\text {dim}}\left( \mathbb {G}\left( T,M\right) \right) = M\left( T-M\right) \), and therefore the multiplexing gain or pre-log factor of the system is \( M \left( 1-M/T\right) \).
