On Image Transmission in Communication Channels Using Alamouti Space-Time Codes

Abstract

Transmitting large amounts of data through wireless communication channels, at high speed and low error probability, is a major challenge for the researchers in the field. In this paper, aspects of image transmission in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communication channels are studied, using binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation and Alamouti space-time block code (STBC) with 2 transmitting and 2 receiving antennas. Alamouti code performance is simulated on large random data sequence for different values of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Also, some simulation results on image broadcasting using Alamouti STBC are presented.
