Full diversity high data rate MIMO scheme with maximal ratio combiner for quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel

This paper, mainly, aims to present a full diversity scheme in the presence of a quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel and an MRC combiner in the receiver. This scheme is based on the fact that transmitted signal will be divided on several transmit antennas. Such scheme reduces the transmission time and increase the data rate. We will present a generic BER equation for this scheme and illustrate our approach with Matlab simulation results and compare analytical results with a simulation of such MIMO scheme.
