Distributed space-time-frequency coding for cooperative OFDM systems

A distributed space-time-frequency (STF) coding scheme is proposed for cooperative OFDM (C-OFDM) systems with three terminals over quasi-static frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. The outage probability is derived and its tight closed-form lower bound is presented. Asymptotic analysis indicates that the proposed scheme can achieve both spatial and multipath (frequency) diversity. The theoretical analysis of the proposed STF coded scheme is further implemented by the distributed group STF block coding (D-GSTFBC) scheme based on the subcarrier grouping technique. Simulation results confirm the previously introduced theoretical analysis.

Clipping distortion mitigation in OFDM systems over fading channels by using DFT-based method

Saeedi et al. have recently proposed a DFT-based method (DBM) for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems to compensate for the performance degradation caused by clipping distortion. They have analyzed the performance of the DBM only in an additive white Gaussian noise channel. But, it is known that the main advantage of an OFDM system is its robustness in fading channels where this system turns a frequency selective channel into a set of parallel flat non-selective fading sub-channels. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the DBM over a frequency selective fading channel with flat fading Rician sub-channels. Our results show that similar to additive white Gaussian noise channel case, the DBM can properly mitigate the clipping distortion in OFDM signals over fading channels. Furthermore, the performance of a Hybrid method that consists of a channel coding method and the DBM is also examined over fading channels.

Coverage study for broadband wireless systems using link adaptation and diversity combining techniques

A broadband wireless access system is a bi-directional broadband wireless system to fixed networks at millimeter-wave frequencies. The propagation environment at millimeter-wave frequencies is one of the major challenges in delivering broadband services to fixed subscribers. At such high frequencies the signal is attenuated by the obstacles in the radio path between the subscriber and the hub, such as buildings, trees and vehicles in the radio path between the subscriber and the hub.Link adaptation techniques such as adaptive modulation and error control coding have been applied to wireless communication systems to overcome the multipath fading experienced by the transmitted signal. Diversity has long been recognized as an effective technique for combating the effect of channel multipath fading. In this study, we investigate the outage probability improvements due to the employments of various combinations of adaptive modulation, adaptive coding, and diversity techniques in a broadband wireless access system. The results indicate that using adaptive modulation, coding, and maximal ratio combining (MRC) yields significant enhancements in outage probability of the system.     

OFDM超分辨率联合TOA/AOA定位

对无线信号到达时间（TOA）和到达角度（AOA）的精确估计是室内无线定位的关键。正交频分复用（OFDM）是适合多径衰落环境的一种高速传输技术。提出一种联合TOA和DOA的二维定位方法用于OFDM信号定位。算法首先通过信道估计得到信道的频率响应（CFR）,对CFR采用超分辨率算法估计信道时延。首径（first arrival path,FAP）的时延估计就是接收信号的TOA估计。将天线阵列接收信号通过DFT变换到频域,利用同样的算法估计信号各径的AOA/DOA。最后联合TOA和AOA在二维平面上确定目标位置。由于信号是多径、多载波信号,对各载波的DOA/AOA估计在载波间进行处理,再结合各径脉冲响应的幅值,选出属于首径的DOA/AOA估计。在多径环境下仿真表明算法有效且定位精度能够满足实际需要,尤其适合环境中只有一个基站或接入点的情况。

A high performance parallel Radon based OFDM transceiver design and simulation

A major goal of the next-generation wireless communication systems is the development of a reliable high-speed wireless communication system that supports high user mobility. They must focus on increasing the link throughput and the network capacity. In this paper a novel, spectral efficient system is proposed for generating and transmitting two-dimensional (2-D) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols through 2-D inter-symbol interference (ISI) channel. Instead of conventional data mapping techniques, discrete finite Radon transform (FRAT) is used as a data mapping technique due to the increased orthogonality offered. As a result, the proposed structure gives a significant improvement in bit error rate (BER) performance. The new structure was tested and a comparison of performance for serial one-dimensional (1-D) Radon based OFDM and parallel 2-D Radon based OFDM is made under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), flat, and multi-path selective fading channels conditions. It is found that Radon based parallel 2-D OFDM has better speed and performance than serial 1-D Radon based OFDM.

Performance optimization of iterative receiver for wireless communications based on realistic channel conditions

Adopting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to low-density parity check (LDPC) coded multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is attractive scheme for wireless communication systems. An iterative receiver design for LDPC coded MIMO-OFDM system is proposed as the foundation for enhancing the wireless link performance can deliver the coverage, speed, throughput and reliability. However, in previous works, evaluations are basically assumed for a certain channel scenario and it is inefficient in incorporating different channel scenarios. The aim of this paper is to improve the system range for equivalent error rate, while not significantly increasing system complexity compared to conventional iterative receiver solution under realistic channel environment. We show that our proposed iteration adaptation at receiver can considerably adopt the system to realistic change environment, and reach very high reliability. Simulations of our optimization reveal superior error rate performance and lower computational cost vs. conventional LDPC coded MIMO OFDM system. Our simulation results also capture the effects of realistic vs. typical channel fading types (i.e., Rician vs. Rayleigh, respectively) and fading parameter models (average vs. random azimuth spread and K factor) on system performance and complexity.

联合子载波抑制-机会网络编码的OFDM数据广播方法

正交频分复用(Orthogonal freqency division multiplexing,OFDM)技术通过采用多个子载波在不同的子带上传输信息来有效对抗频率选择性衰落。但不同子载波信道质量不同,其中信道质量较差的子载波会产生较大的误码率,从而导致整个系统性能下降。将信道质量较差的子载波抑制不用即可解决该问题。本文提出了一种适用于OFDM数据广播系统的联合子载波抑制-机会网络编码方法（Joint subcarriers suppression and opportunistic network coding, JSSONC）,即将子载波抑制技术与网络编码（Network coding,NC)技术联合使用。基站抑制信道质量较差的子载波,仅采用信道质量较好的子载波进行数据包的广播与重传。在此基础上,结合机会网络编码,进一步减少重传数据包数量。仿真结果表明,与传统OFDM广播系统相比,本文提出的JSSONC方法降低了每一个数据包平均传输次数（Average transmission times of every data package,ATT-E）,从而大大提高了系统传输效率。

Blind estimation of multipath delays in OFDM systems

In order to coherently detect the transmitted data symbols,an orthogonal frequency division multi-plexing (OFDM) receiver requires reliable identification and equalization of the experienced wireless multipath fading channels.The information of path delays plays an important role in the procedure of identification and equalization.The need for high data rates motivated the search for blind identification and equalization methods because they save bandwidth by avoiding the use of training sequences.In OFDM systems,multipath fading channels introduce interference between adjacent symbols which can be prevented by inserting a cyclic prefix (CP) before each symbol.In this paper,we find that the power of the interference in the CP interval can be estimated by using the circular convolution and based on the variations of the interference power,the time delay of each path can be estimated blindly.
