Abstract
The definition of the next generation of wireless networks is well under way within the IEEE 802.11 High Throughput Task Group committee. The resulting standard, to be called IEEE 802.1 In, is expected to be a backward-compatible evolution of the successful IEEE 802.11a/g systems also based on multicarrier techniques. It can be anticipated that 802.1 In systems will outperform its predecessors in terms of transmission rate and/or performance, mainly, due to the use of multiple antennae technology for transmission and reception. In this paper we propose to incorporate group-orthogonal (GO) code division multiplex (CDM) into the IEEE 802.11n specifications to further enhance its performance. It is shown how GO-CDM can take full advantage of the diversity offered by the multiple antennae and multicarrier transmission by using an iterative maximum likelihood (ML) joint detector. Furthermore, the use of GO-CDM does not compromise the backward compatibility with legacy systems.
