Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising transmission scheme for high performance broadband wireless communications. However, this technique suffers from a major drawback which is the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of the output signals. In order to overcome this issue, several methods requiring the transmission of explicit side information (SI) bits have been proposed in the literature. In fact, the transmitted bits must be channel-encoded as they are particularly critical to the performance of the considered OFDM system. Consequently, this channel-encoding highly increases the system complexity and decreases the transmission data rate. To overcome these problems, we propose in this paper two robust blind techniques that embed the SI implicitly into the OFDM frame. The first technique, referred to as Blind Space Time Bloc …
