The rapid growth within the field of digital communication during the recent years expanded the need for high-speed data transmission to support a wide range of services such as: video, data and voice in wireless communication systems, etc. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and a multicarrier modulation scheme are employed to achieve the high data rates. Since OFDM is very much sensitive to carrier frequency offsets, which cause the Inter-carrier Interference (ICI) leads to mitigation of this ICI is necessary. The objectives of this paper are to, proposed an efficient ICI self-cancellation scheme to mitigate the effect of ICI on OFDM systems. For this purpose, a redundant data is transmitted onto adjacent sub-carriers such that the ICI between adjacent sub-carriers cancels out at the receiver side. One data symbol is modulated into a group of adjacent sub carriers with a group of weighting coefficients. At the receiver side, the received signals are linearly combined on these sub carriers with proposed coefficients. The residual ICI contained in the received signals can then be further reduced. This study provides significant carrier-to-interference power ratio (CIR) improvement, which has been studied theoretically and supported by simulations. Since no channel equalization is required to reduce ICI, so the proposed scheme doesnt increase the system complexity.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the key technology used in high-speed communication systems. One of the major drawbacks of OFDM systems is the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the transmitted signal. The transmitted signal with a high PAPR requires a very large linear range of the Power Amplifier (PA) on the transmitter side. In this paper, we propose and study a new clipping method named Palm Clipping (Palm date leaf) based on hyperbolic cosine. To evaluate and analyze its performance in terms of the PAPR and Bit Error Rate (BER), we performed some computer simulations by varying the Clipping Ratio (CR) and modulation schemes. The obtained results show that it is possible to achieve a gain of between 7 and 9 dB in terms of PAPR reduction depending on the type of modulation. In addition, comparison with several techniques in terms of PAPR and BER shows that our method is a strong alternative that can be adopted as a PAPR reduction technique for OFDM-based communication systems.

Current and future wireless communication systems are designed to achieve the user’s demands such as high data rate and high speed with low latency and simultaneously to save bandwidth and spectrum. In 5G and 6G networks, a high speed of transmitting and switching is required for internet of things (IoT) applications with higher capacity. To achieve these requirements a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is considered as a wavelength converter to transmit a signal with an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with subcarrier power modulation (OFDM-SPM). It exploits the subcarrier’s power in conventional OFDM block in order to send additional bits beside the normally transmitted bits. In this paper, we optimized the SOA’s parameters to have efficient wavelength conversion process. These parameters are included the injection current (IC) of SOA, power of pump and probe signals. A 7 Gbps OFDM-SPM signal with a millimeter waves (MMW) carrier of 80 GHz is considered for signal switching. The simulation results investigated and analyzed the performance of the designed system in terms of error vector magnitude (EVM), bit error rate (BER) and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR). The optimum value of IC is 0.6 A while probe power is 9.45 and 8.9 dBm for pump power. The simulation is executed by virtual photonic integrated (VPI) software.

High data rate communication systems usually implement Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) to face frequency selectivity. High Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is an OFDM disadvantage that causes Bit Error Rate (BER) degradation and out-of-band (OOB) radiation when OFDM signal pass through nonlinear Power Amplifier (PA). In order to overcome this problem larger Input Back-Off (IBO) is required. However, large IBO decreases the PA efficiency. PAPR reduction techniques are used to reduce the required IBO, so that PA efficiency is saved. Several PAPR reduction methods are introduced in literature, among them Tone Reservation based on Null Subcarriers (TRNS) is downward compatible version of Tone Reservation (TR) with small excess in the average power and low computational complexity compared to others. As will be shown, TRNS is the best practical one of the four downward compatible techniques. Performance of TRNS is controlled by three parameters; number of peak reduction tones (PRTs), predefined threshold (Amax), and number of iterations (Itr). In order to increase PAPR reduction gain, enhance BER performance, and reduce the required IBO to follow the given power spectral density (PSD), we have to choose the values of these parameters adequately. Results showed that, we have to reduce the threshold value to the average (i.e. Amax =0 dB). Also, we have to increase number of PRTs. However, we have to maintain the spectrum shape. Finally, we have to choose moderate number of iterations (e.g. Itr ≈50), as excessive increase in number of iterations is not useful, especially at high PAPR values.

In this paper, pilot-assisted techniques for channel estimation (CE) are simulated for Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier (UFMC) modulation scheme. UFMC aims at replacing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and improves performance and robustness in the case of timefrequency misalignment. These techniques efficiently support Internet of Things (IoT) and massive machine type communications (mMTC), which are identified as challenges for 5G wireless communication systems (WCS). Pilot-aided techniques are adopted and applied to OFDM and UFMC. Simulation results are supplemented to compare the performance of UFMC systems with conventional CP-OFDM systems.

A major goal of the next-generation wireless communication systems is the development of a reliable highspeed wireless communication system that supports high user mobility. Multi-Carrier Modulation (MCM) technique is an attractive approach for high-speed digital radio communication systems in order to achieve a high spectral efficiency and to combat the frequency selectivity of the channel. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a kind of MCM techniques. As proven by the success of OFDM, multicarrier modulation has been recognized as an efficient solution for wireless communications. Waveform bases other than sine functions could similarly be used for multicarrier systems in order to provide an alternative to OFDM. Wavelet Packet Modulation (WPM) was proposed as one of the multicarrier transmission methods like OFDM. Since it is a multicarrier transmission method. In this paper, we study the performance of FFT-OFDM and wavelet Packet (WP)- OFDM from through demonstrated numerical examples, and evaluation of FFT-OFDM and DWPT-OFDM in AWGN channel , Flat fading channel and Selective Fading Channel.

Abstract The continued increase in several mobile applications forces to replace existing limited spectrum indoor radio frequency wireless connections with high-speed ones. Visible light communications (VLC) technology has gained prominence in the development of high data rate transmission for fifth-generation networks. In optical wireless communications, light-emitting diode (LED) transmitters are used in applications that desire mobility as LED divergence enables larger coverage. Since each VLC access point covers a small area, handovers of mobile users are inevitable. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) can be used in VLC systems to tackle the above issue and to meet the increasing demand for indoor connectivity with high bit rates. In this paper, a new system architecture for WDM with coded modulated optical in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) VLC system in conjunction with red, green, blue, and yellow (RGBY) LEDs is proposed to reduce the impact of random receiver orientation of indoor mobile users over VLC downlink channels and improves the system’s bit-error-rate (BER) performance. Simulation results show that the proposed method is not affected by the user’s mobility and hence it performs better than other approaches, in terms of BER for all scenarios and at all positions. This study reveals that using WDM-OFDM-VLC with RGBY LEDs to construct a VLC system is very promising.

UFMC (Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier) is a novel multi-carrier transmission technique that aims to replace the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulation technique for fifth generation (5G) wireless communication systems. UFMC, being a generalization of OFDM and FBMC (Filter Bank Multicarrier), combines the advantages of these systems and at the same time avoids their main disadvantages. Using a Matlab simulation, this article presents an analysis of the robustness of UFMC against fading effects of multipath channels without using a CP (cyclic prefix). The behavior of the UFMC system is analyzed in terms of the PSD (Power Spectral Density), BER (Bit Error Rate) and MSE (Mean Square Error). The results show that UFMC reduces the out-band side lobes produced in the PSD of the processed signal. Also, it is shown that the pilot-assisted channel estimation method applied in OFDM systems can also be applied in UFMC systems.

Решению вопросов, связанных с телекоммуникационным оборудованием, функционирующем в водной среде, в настоящее время уделяется особое внимание. На смену традиционным подводным системам обмена информацией в гидроакустических полях приходят открытые системы её оптической передачи и приёма, базирующиеся на лазерных технологиях. Это вызвано необходимостью трансляции с высокой разрешающей способностью видеоданных, среди которых, например, может быть либо визуальное отображение подводных систем в динамике, либо результаты мониторинга объектов подводной инфраструктуры в реальном масштабе времени, либо что-то другое с учётом требований Заказчика. Канал передачи такого большого объёма информации при условии ее считывания с задаваемым качеством должен иметь пропускную способность более 1 Мбит/с. Такую высокую скорость передачи невозможно реализовать в подводных гидроакустических системах, граница технических возможностей которых на превышает 10...50 кбит/с. В аналогичной ситуации при заданных параметрах канала связи частоты несущих оптического диапазона имеют порядок 1014 Гц, что обеспечивает динамический диапазон полосы пропускания в районе 1012…1013 Гц. С учётом условия квазимонохроматичности применение гидроакустических средств для передачи видеоданных становится проблематичным, так как техническая реализация такой задачи потребует слишком большого времени. С учётом сказанного, преимуществом подводных беспроводных оптических систем связи является их высокая широкополосность, которая обеспечит высокую скорость передачи данных. В статье обосновывается целесообразность использования открытых оптических системы связи для создания высокоскоростных подводных инфотелекоммуникаций, среди которых наиболее предпочтительными являются лазерные системы. Special attention is currently paid to the solution of issues related to telecommunication equipment operating in the aquatic environment. The traditional underwater systems for the exchange of information in hydroacoustic fields are being replaced by open systems for its optical transmission and reception, based on laser technologies.This is due to the need to broadcast high-resolution video data, among which, for example, there can be either a visual display of underwater systems in dynamics, or the results of monitoring objects of underwater infrastructure in real time, or something else, taking into account the requirements of the Customer. The transmission channel of such a large amount of information, provided it is read with a specified quality, must have a bandwidth of more than 1 Mbit / s. Such a high transmission rate cannot be realized in underwater sonar systems, the technical capabilities limit of which does not exceed 10 ... 50 kbit/s. In a similar situation, given the parameters of the communication channel, the carrier frequencies of the optical range are 1014 Hz, which provides a dynamic bandwidth range about 1012…1013Hz. Taking into account the condition of quasimonochromaticity, the use of hydroacoustic means for transmitting video data becomes problematic, since the technical implementation of such a task will take too long. In view of the above, the advantage of underwater wireless optical communication systems is their high broadband, which will provide a high data transfer rate. The article substantiates the expediency of using open optical communication systems for creating high-speed underwater information telecommunications, among which the most preferable are laser systems.

<p>Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a transmission system that uses multiple orthogonal carriers that are sent out at the same time. OFDM is a technique for mobile and wireless communication that has high-efficient frequency utilization, high data-rate transmission, simple and efficient implementation using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT), and reduces inter symbol interference (ISI) by inserting cyclic prefix (CP). One of the most important approaches in an OFDM system is channel estimation. In this paper, the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system with the Rayleigh channel module is analyzed for different areas. The proposed approach used large numbers of subcarriers to transmit the signals over 64-QAM modulation with pilot add channel estimation. The accuracy of the OFDM system is shown in the measuring of the relationships of peak power to the noise ratio and bit error rate.</p>

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an efficient method of data transmission for high speed communication systems over multipath fading channels. However, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is a major drawback of multicarrier transmission systems such as OFDM is the high sensitivity of frequency offset. The bit error rate analysis (BER) of discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-OFDM system is compared with conventional fast Fourier transform (FFT)-OFDMA system in order to ensure that wavelet transform based OFDMA transmission gives better improvement to combat ICI than FFT-based OFDMA transmission and hence improvement in BER. Wavelet transform is applied together with OFDM technology in order to improve performance enhancement. In the proposed system, a Kalman filter has been used in order to improve BER by minimizing the effect of ICI and noise. The obtained results from the proposed system simulation showed acceptable BER performance at standard SNR.
