In the space-time-frequency-coded MIMO-OFDM system, the scheme of subcarrier grouping is adopted to divide the pilot sequence into independent subchannels, and the channel estimation is extended from the spacefrequency dimensions to the space-time-frequency dimensions, thus reducing the complexity of the system coding/ decoding and the pilot sequence design. Then, the close-form solution to the Chernoff upper bound of the pairwise error probability is derived for the MIMO-OFDM system with imperfect channel information. The results of the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that, in the fading channels, the proposed subcarrier grouping scheme with equal intervals is of good performance because it can attain the results with low coding and decoding complexity by reducing the matrix scale.
