Abstract
In this paper, we report our study of SoftCast-based soft video transmission with multiple antennas, which provides high spectrum efficiency and a high transmission rate and overcomes the cliff effect of the digital scheme. However, current soft video transmission with multiple antennas cannot achieve better video performance because it uses only a single space time block code (STBC). In this paper, we propose an adaptive STBC (ASTBC) scheme for soft video transmission with multiple antennas. When the symbol rate is given, under different channel conditions, the closed-form expression is derived for the rearrangement of packets to be transmitted. Orthogonal STBC (OSTBC) is used to transmit some of the most important packets at a 1/2 transmission rate while discarding the same number of the least important packets; the other packets are transmitted using quasi-orthogonal STBC (QSTBC). The experimental results show that, in a 4 × 1 system, our scheme provides much higher quality than using pure OSTBC or pure QSTBC.
