Apparatus, system and method of communicating a single carrier (sc) space time block code (stbc) transmission

A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one computer processor, enable the at least one computer processor to cause a wireless station to:

• generate a plurality of space-time streams according to a Space Time Block Coding (STBC) structure, the plurality of space-time streams comprising at least a first space-time stream and a second space-time stream, the first space-time stream comprising, in a first interval, a first data sequence followed by a first Guard Interval (GI) sequence, the second space-time stream comprising, in the first interval, a second data sequence followed by a second GI sequence, the first space time stream comprising, in a second interval subsequent to the first interval, a sign-inverted and time-inverted complex conjugate of the second data sequence followed by the first GI sequence, the second stream comprising, in the second interval, a time-inverted complex conjugate of the first data sequence followed by the second GI sequence;
• and
• transmit a Single Carrier (SC) STBC transmission based on the plurality of space-time streams.

An apparatus comprising logic and circuitry configured to cause a wireless station to:

• process a Single Carrier (SC) Space Time Block Coding (STBC) transmission received via one or more antennas of the wireless station;
• and
• demodulate the SC STBC transmission according to a STBC structure of a plurality of streams of the SC STBC transmission, the plurality of streams comprising at least a first space-time stream and a second space-time stream, the first space-time stream comprising, in a first interval, a first data sequence followed by a first Guard Interval (GI) sequence, the second space-time stream comprising, in the first interval, a second data sequence followed by a second GI sequence, the first space time stream comprising, in a second interval subsequent to the first interval, a sign-inverted and time-inverted complex conjugate of the second data sequence followed by the first GI sequence, the second stream comprising, in the second interval, a time-inverted complex conjugate of the first data sequence followed by the second GI sequence.
