The subcarriers of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems may fail to keep orthogonal to each other under timevarying channels. The loss of orthogonality among the subcarriers will degrade the system performace, and this effect is named intercarrier interference (ICI). In this paper, a Wiener-based successive interference cancellation (SIC) scheme is proposed to detect the OFDM signals. It provides good ICI cancellation performance; however, it suffers large computation complexity. Therefore, a modified Wienerbased SIC scheme is further proposed to reduce the computation complexity. Simulation results show the performance of the Wienerbased SIC scheme is better than those of zero forcing, zero forcing plus SIC and original Wiener-based schemes. Furthermore, with the modified Wiener-based SIC scheme, the performance is still better than the others. Although the performace of the modified Wiener-based SIC scheme suffers little degradation compared to Wiener-based SIC scheme, the computation complexity can be dramatically reduced.

The main impairment of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is an intercarrier interference (ICI) effect caused by a frequency offset. A zero-padded technique designed for a conjugate cancellation scheme in MIMO-OFDM systems for ICI cancellation is proposed by padding zero between two consecutive symbols over a space-frequency domain. At the receiver, the ICI cancellation and space-frequency diversity combining techniques are proposed. In this paper, a performance analysis is investigated and analyzed. In comparison with the conventional complex conjugate scheme, the outage probability expressions of the proposed system and the repetition-coded conjugate cancellation scheme are derived for quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation results show the close agreement with those obtained by theoretical analysis, which could be used to estimate the proposed system performance. Finally, simulation results in time-varying frequency-selective fading channels, a bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed system is significantly improved over both the ordinary zero-padded MIMO-OFDM systems and the repetition-coded conjugate cancellation scheme when the frequency offset is not greater than 10% of subcarrier spacing. Furthermore, the proposed system is shown to be able to attain significant diversity gain.

Abstract: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an emerging multi-carrier modulation scheme, which has been adopted for several wireless standards such as IEEE 802.11a and HiperLAN2. In OFDM systems, the performance is very sensitive to subcarrier frequency errors (offset). This paper shows the analysis and derivations of intercarrier interference (ICI) complex gain that used in self-cancellation scheme and its dependence on subcarrier frequency offset. Simulation shows that better improvement in performance is achieved for systems that use this cancellation scheme. Moreover, analysis and simulation show that theoretical carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) for OFDM with cancellation scheme is greater than conventional one by more than 14dB.DOI: 10.18495/comengapp.11.013023

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.

Due to its good orthogonality, slantlet transform (SLT) is used in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems to reduce intersymbol interference (ISI) and intercarrier interference (ICI). This eliminates the need for cyclic prefix (CP) and increases the spectral efficiency of the design. Finite Radon transform (FRAT) mapper has the ability to increase orthogonality of subcarriers, is nonsensitive to channel parameters variations, and has a small constellation energy compared with conventional fast-Fourier-transform- (FFT-) based OFDM. It is also able to work as a good interleaver, which significantly reduces the bit error rate (BER). In this paper both FRAT mapping technique and SLT modulator are implemented in a new design of an OFDM system. The new structure was tested and compared with conventional FFT-based OFDM, Radon transform-based OFDM, and SLT-based OFDM for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, flat fading channel (FFC), and multipath selective fading channel (SFC). Simulation tests were generated for different channel parameters values. The obtained results showed that the proposed system has increased the spectral efficiency, reduced ISI and ICI, and improved BER performance compared with other systems.

Abstract The main drawback in the performance of the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system is the higher Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the OFDM signals at the transmitter side. Companding is a well-known technique useful for reducing PAPR in the OFDM signal. This paper proposes a new nonlinear companding scheme that transforms the magnitude of Rayleigh distributed OFDM signal of specific degree into trapezoidal distribution. Additional design parameter is used in the proposed companding scheme to make the companding function more flexible. In the designed OFDM system the companding function has more degree of freedom which improves the PAPR and bit error rate (BER) parameters of the designed system. It has been demonstrated that the designed companding scheme provides more flexibility to accomplish an optimum trade-off between the performance parameters PAPR and BER of the designed OFDM system.

The application of deep learning (DL) to solve physical layer issues has emerged as a prominent topic. In this paper, the mitigation of clipping effects for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with the help of a Neural Network (NN) is investigated. Unlike conventional clipping recovery algorithms, which involve costly iterative procedures, the DL-based method learns to directly reconstruct the clipped part of the signal while the unclipped part is protected. Furthermore, an interpretation of the learned weight matrices of the neural network is presented. It is observed that parts of the network, in effect, implement transformations very similar to the (Inverse) Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT/IDFT) to provide information in both the time and frequency domains. The simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms existing algorithms for recovering clipped OFDM signals in terms of both mean square error (MSE) and Bit Error Rate (BER).

We propose a new resource allocation algorithm with minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector for multicast linear precoded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (LP-OFDM) systems. To increase the total multicast bit rate, this algorithm jointly uses the LP-OFDM modulation technique and an adaptation of the OFDM-based multicast approaches to exploit the transmission link diversities of users. The LP technique applied to multicast OFDM systems with zero forcing (ZF) detector has already proved its ability to increase the unirate multicast system bit rate in a power line communication (PLC) context. The new MMSE detector and the new related bit-loading algorithm are developed to enhance the ZF detector results. To improve both the bit rate and the fairness among multicast users, the utilization of the LP component in multirate multicast systems is then investigated. Simulations are run over indoor PLC channels, and it is shown that the proposed LP-based methods outperform the OFDM-based methods in terms of total bit rate and fairness index for both unirate and multirate multicast systems. Additionally, it is shown that the proposed bit-loading algorithm with MMSE detector outperforms the ZF detector and the OFDM-based receiver in terms of total multicast bit rate and fairness among users.
