Abstract

This paper proposes a novel and efficient algorithm for space-time block code (STBC) classification, when a single antenna is employed at the receiver. The algorithm exploits the discriminating features provided by the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of the fourth-order lag products (FOLPs) of the received signal. It does not require estimation of the channel, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and modulation of the transmitted signal. Computer simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show the validity of the algorithm, its robustness to carrier frequency offset, and low sensitivity to timing offset.
