This paper presents the performance of DSTBC when applied on the downlink transmission of WCDMA cellular systems in fast-varying time-dispersive channels. First, three DSTBC-WCDMA receiver architectures are proposed and they are: (1) the DSTBC Rake receiver for combined-code (D-Rake-C), (2) the DSTB...
