Communications systems concerted over wireless channels depend on the environment. Communications system can be more reliable and efficient by properly analyzing wireless channels. Today's most important features are a high data rate and reliable performance to exploiting viable networks during this new information age. The channel is not time-invariant in wireless communication, so the received signal exhibits amplitude, phase, and angle variations due to multipath fading. Increasing data rates and reducing bandwidth make Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) an important component of wireless communication systems. The OFDM technique uses many carriers very efficiently. With this scheme, interference is robustly reduced, and fading scenarios are easily accommodated. Analyzing digital modulation schemes requires evaluating link performance with fading channels. The paper compares channel performance over varying fading environments using a variety of modulation schemes. We study the BER and SNR properties of the AWGN, Rician fading and Rayleigh fading channels modulated with BPSK, QPSK, and M-ary QAM.

Abstract A growing trend has been observed in recent research in wireless communication systems. However, several limitations still exist, such as packet loss, limited bandwidth and inefficient use of available bandwidth that needs further investigation and research. In light of the above limitations, this paper uses adaptive modulation under various parameters, such as signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), and communication channel’s distances. The primary goal is to minimize bit error rate (BER), improve throughput and utilize the available bandwidth efficiently. Additionally, the impact of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), Rayleigh and Rician fading channels on the performance of various modulation schemes are also studied. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed technique optimally improves the BER and spectral efficiency in the long-range communication as compared to the fixed modulation schemes under the co-channel interference of surrounding base stations. The results indicate that the performance of fixed modulation schemes is suitable only either at high SINR and low distance or at low SINR and high distance values. Moreover, on the other hand, its performance was suboptimal in the entire wireless communication channel due to high distortion and attenuation. Lastly, we also noted that BER performance in the AWGN channel is better than Rayleigh and Rician channels with Rayleigh channel exhibiting poor performance than the Rician channel.

<p>The nature of future wireless applications requires high data rates and for this OFDM technique is used. OFDM stands for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and is a type of multi-carrier transmission where all the subcarriers are orthogonal to each other. At high data rates, the channel distortion to the data is very important and it is somewhat impossible to recover the transmitted data with a simple receiver. So a complex receiver structure is needed which uses computationally expensive equalization and channel estimation algorithms to estimate the channel. These estimations can be used within the received data to recover the originally transmitted data. OFDM can simplify the equalization problem by changing the frequency-selective channel into a flat channel. The radio channels in mobile radio systems are usually multipath fading channels that results in intersymbol interference (ISI) in the received signal. To remove ISI from the signal, many kind of equalizers can be used. The need for equalizers arises from the fact that the channel has amplitude and phase dispersion which results in the interference of the transmitted signals with one another which is known as ISI .So, to solve this problem equalizers are designed. Equalizer is intend to work in such a way that Bit Error Rate (BER) should be low and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) should be high. An equalizer within a receiver compensates for the average range of expected channel amplitude and delay characteristics. This paper deals with the various equalization techniques (LMS, RLS and CMA) used for OFDM system .A comparative analysis of different equalization technique in terms of BER is done using MATLAB Simulink.</p>

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.

The vision towards 6G and beyond communication systems demands higher rate transmission, massive amount of data processing, and low latency communication. Orthogonal Frequency Division Modulation (OFDM) has been adopted in the current 5G networks and has become one of the potential candidates for the future communication systems. Although OFDM offers many benefits including high spectrum efficiency and high robustness against the multipath fading channels, it has major challenges such as frequency offset and high Peak to Power Ratio (PAPR). In 5G communication network, there is a significant increase in the number of sensors and other low-power devices where users or devices may create large amount of connection and dynamic data processing. In order to deal with the increasingly complex communication network, Machine Learning (ML) has been increasingly utilised to create intelligent and more efficient communication network. This paper discusses challenges and the impacts of embedding ML in OFDM-based communication systems.

Multipath performance is an important consideration for chaos-based communication systems. In this letter, the performance of the FM-DCSK communication system over multipath fading channels is evaluated by computer simulations. Both Rayleigh fading and Ricean fading are considered, and the low-pass equivalent model of the FM-DCSK system is used in the simulation. Based on this model, we analyze the bit error performance of the system and the effects of system parameters on the bit-error performance.

Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems combined with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) gained a wide popularity in wireless applications due to the potential of providing increased channel capacity and robustness against multipath fading channels. However these advantages come at the cost of a very high processing complexity and the efficient implementation of MIMO-OFDM receivers is today a major research topic. In this paper, efficient architectures are proposed for the hardware implementation of the main building blocks of a MIMO-OFDM receiver. A sphere decoder architecture flexible to different modulation without any loss in BER performance is presented while the proposed matrix factorization implementation allows to achieve the highest throughput specified in the IEEE 802.11n standard. Finally a novel sphere decoder approach is presented, which allows for the realization of new golden space time trellis coded modulation (GST-TCM) scheme. Implementation cost and offered throughput are provided for the proposed architectures synthesized on a 0.13  CMOS standard cell technology or on advanced FPGA devices.
