Abstract In this paper, we study the joint effects of timing offset (TO), carrier frequency offset (CFO), nonlinear power amplifier distortion, and phase noise (PN) on generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) system. Closed form expressions for signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) at GFDM receiver with synchronization errors and PN using a nonlinear power amplifier is derived. Then, we have been conducted simulation studies to compare the performance of GFDM systems with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems using matched filter (MF) and zero forcing (ZF), in presence of these impairments. The results show that GFDM systems are more robust against TO and PN while they are more sensitive to CFO and nonlinear distortion compared to OFDM systems.

In orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, synchronization issues are of great importance since synchronization errors might destroy the orthogonality among all subcarriers and, therefore, introduce intercarrier interference (ICI) and intersymbol interference (ISI). Several schemes of frequency offset estimation in OFDM systems have been investigated. This paper compares performance and computational complexity of Smoothing Power Spectrum (SPS) and Frequency Analysis (FA) methods for blind carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation in OFDM systems.

In this paper, we propose a novel carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed scheme has much wider estimation range compared with that of the conventional scheme, making it more robust to the fractional FO variation. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has better estimation performance than the conventional scheme for wider fractional FO range.

This study presents a novel preamble-based timing offset estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed method is robust, immune to the carrier frequency offset (CFO), and independent of the structure of the preamble. The performance of the new method is demonstrated in terms of mean square error (MSE) obtained by simulation in multipath fading channels. The results indicate that the new method significantly improves timing performance in comparison with existing methods.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), widely used in digital wireless communication, has a major drawback of high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). A reduced complexity partial transmit sequence (PTS) scheme has been proposed to solve high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. In the proposed PTS scheme, a function is generated by summing the power of time domain samples at time ‘n’ in each sub blocks, known as “Hn”.Only those samples, having Hn greater than or equal to a preset threshold value (αT) are used for peak power calculation during the process of selecting a candidate signal with the lowest PAPR for transmission. As compared to conventional PTS scheme, the proposed scheme achieves almost the same PAPR reduction performance with much lower computational complexity.
