Computational complexity is one of the drawbacks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-index modulation (IM) systems. In this study, a novel IM technique is proposed for OFDM systems by considering the null subcarrier locations (NSC-OFDM-IM) within a predetermined group in the frequency domain. So far, a variety of index modulation techniques have been proposed for OFDM systems. However, they are almost always based on modulating the active subcarrier indices. We propose a novel index modulation technique by employing the part of the transmitted bit group into the null subcarrier location index within the predefined size of the subgroup. The novelty comes from modulating null subcarriers rather than actives and reducing the computational complexity of the index selection and index detection algorithms at the transmitter and receiver, respectively. The proposed method is physically straightforward and easy to implement owing to the size of the subgroups, which is defined as a power of two. Based on the results of our simulations, it appeared that the proposed NSC-OFDM-IM does not suffer from any performance degradation compared to the existing OFDM-IM, while achieving better bit error rate (BER) performance and improved spectral efficiency (SE) compared to conventional OFDM. Moreover, in terms of computational complexity, the proposed approach has a significantly reduced complexity over the traditional OFDM-IM scheme.

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.

Iterative subcarrier regularization (ISR) has been recently proposed as a receiver-side remedy for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) nonlinearity. It allows the power amplifier of OFDM transmitters to operate at a lower input back-off for more efficient uplinks. However, the compensation ability cannot align with increasing channel quality, because the standard quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) used in ISR may eliminate compensation due to erroneous decisions. To solve this issue, an improved version of ISR was proposed to flexibly adjust the constellation borders of QAM and numerically optimize it based on IEEE 802.11ah (hereinafter referred to as 802.11ah) specifications. Simulations show that the proposed scheme not only improves the converged bit error rate of ISR but also accelerates its own convergence, especially in a high channel quality, thereby achieving better power efficiency for Internet of Things clients without additional computational complexity.

In this paper, we investigate the bit error rate (BER) performance of a concatenated low density parity check (LDPC) encoded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system on color image transmission. In FEC concatenated channel coding, the OFDM wireless communication system incorporates 1/2-rated convolution encoder under various digital modulations (QPSK, 8PSK, QAM, 8QAM, 16QAM and 32QAM) over an additative white gaussian noise (AWGN) and other fading (Raleigh and Rician) channels. Computer simulation results on BER demonstrate that the LDPC encoded OFDM system outperforms with QAM modulation technique as compared to other digital modulation scheme and the system is highly effective to combat inherent interferences under Rayleigh and Rician fading channels. The transmitted color image is found to have retrieved effectively under noisy and fading situations with implementation of sum-product algorithm, an effective iterative based LDPC decoding scheme. It has also been anticipated that the performance of the communication system degrades with the increasing of noise power. Keywords: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM); Low density parity check (LDPC); Bit error rate (BER). © 2010 JSR Publications.

Through the combined use of multiple input, multiple output, and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technologies, mankind has achieved a huge leap in the data rate of gigabit per second with the birth of 5G wireless technology. With frequency selective fading, multiple (OFDM MIMO) is possible. One of its most important performance concerns is PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio), which renders OFDM particularly vulnerable to harmonic distortion, reducing channel estimation accuracy and resulting in a lower bit error rate (BER). We propose a selective codeword shift mapping method for the MIMO-OFDM system (SCS-SLM). It lowers the PAPR and causes the power amplifier to operate in the non-linear area, resulting in intermodulation between sub-carriers, signal constellation, bit error rate distortion, as well as enhanced system performance. Furthermore, employing space-time-frequency block code (STFBC OFDM) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing might improve BER performance. This paper mentions a useful strategy for minimizing the PAPR, which is Selective Mapping. In addition, the bit error rate performance and, as a result, the process complexity for this system is discussed. In addition to the above-mentioned analysis, a thorough analysis of the mutual independence of the alternative OFDM signals generated using this technique is also discussed. Furthermore, this new approach has the important benefit of removing the extra bits on the side of the transmitted OFDM signal.

In this paper, we propose algorithms for enhancing physical layer security and spectral efficiency of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Index Modulation (IM) systems. Particularly, different activation ratios and/or Constellation Modulation orders are selected adaptively for each subblock based on the channel quality of the legitimate receiver. More specifically, three approaches named as (1) OFDM with Adaptive Index Modulation and Fixed Constellation Modulation (OFDM-AIM-FCM), (2) OFDM with Adaptive Index Modulation and Adaptive Constellation Modulation (OFDM-AIM-ACM), and (3) OFDM with Variable Index Modulation and Variable Constellation Modulation (OFDM-VIM-VCM) are proposed for enhancing physical layer security and spectral efficiency. Simulation results are presented to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

Ber Performance

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is extensively applied in the downlink of narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT). However, the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of OFDM systems leads to a decrease in transmitter efficiency. Therefore, the researchers proposed the artificial neural network (ANN) based PAPR reduction schemes. However, these schemes have the disadvantages of high complexity or cannot overcome the defects of traditional schemes. In this paper, a novel PAPR reduction scheme based on neural networks (NNs) is proposed for OFDM systems. This scheme establishes a PAPR reduction module based on NN, which is trained using the low PAPR data obtained by the simplified clipping and filtering (SCF) method. To overcome the defect of poor BER performance of the SCF scheme, a recovery module is introduced at the receiver, to recover the distorted signal. To realize the improvement of BER performance and the reduction of PAPR simultaneously, the two modules are jointly trained based on multiobjective optimization. Experimental results based on a 100 MHz OFDM signal show that this scheme can reduce PAPR by 4.5 dB. Meanwhile, the BER of this scheme can be reduced to 0.001 times that of the SCF scheme.
