Performance Analysis on Channel Estimation with Antenna Diversity of OFDM Reception in Multi-path Fast Fading Channel

Vehicle to everything (V2X) communication supports vehicle to anything communication for vehicle safety and cooperative Intelligent Transport System in vehicular environments. IEEE 802.11p modem has been developed and applied for V2X communication system. V2X radio channel has multipath fast fading due to moving vehicles and surrounded road structure. We proposed a new DFCE-AD which combines DFCE and antenna diversity for OFDM reception and analyzed the performance improvement in multipath fading channel. Through computer simulation, SNR gain of DFCE-AD over DFCE for QPSK modulation is approximately 6 dB at PER?=?10%. In other word, PER of DFCE-AD is improved over that of DFCE by about 20% at SNR?=?10 dB. This result will be applied for the short sized packet and low order OFDM modulation in vehicular multipath fading channel.

BER assessment of FFT-OFDM against WHT-OFDM over different fading channel

Wavelets are brought into the wireless communication field as an orthogonal base of multi-carrier modulation and are now considered as a significant measure. Also, wavelets do contain the capability to improve bandwidth efficiency even more along with lower inter-symbol interference and inter-carrier interference. Appropriately, a BER versus SNR analysis is done for fast Fourier transform (FFT) based OFDM framework and wavelet haar transform (WHT) based OFDM framework in this work. The evaluationis demonstrated over Rayleigh and Rician fading channel utilizing dissimilar M-PSK modulation levels intended for FFT-OFDM and WHT-OFDM. The performance of the simulated test-bed is investigated via BER assessment as a function of SNR. The imitation outcome reports a significant improvement in BER of the simulated system using WHT-OFDM in comparison to FFT-OFDM for both Rayleigh and Rician fading channel. Also, the BER performance of both FFT-OFDM and WHT-OFDM is superior in Rician fading channel in comparison to Rayleigh fading channel.     

Throughput Analysis of Adaptive Modulated STS-based CDMA System Over Multipath Fading Channel

The throughput enhancement of Space-Time Spreading (STS)-based Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system is investigated in this paper. Adaptive Modulation is utilized to improve the data throughput of the system in multipath Rayleigh fading channel. In this contribution, an analytical approach is proposed to compute a new expression for the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance and the output Signal-to-Interference-and-Noise Ratio (SINR) of the RAKE receiver-assisted STS-based CDMA system for QAM data, considering multipath and multiuser interferences. The other contribution of the paper is deriving a new closed form expression for computing the throughput enhancement and the BER performance of the adaptive modulated STS-based CDMA system over multipath fading channel. Simulation and analytical results demonstrate that using adaptive modulation method in this system improves the average throughput by keeping the BER performance at a target level. The novel expressions presented in this paper bring out the facility of evaluation of the proposed system with no need to more calculations and simulations.

Performance analysis of concatenated BCH and convolutional coded OFDM system

ABSTRACT

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a widely used technique for wireless communications. But uncoded OFDM is not sufficient by itself, that is why channel coding is included to increase the system performance. In this study, concatenated Bose Chaudhuri Hocquenghem (BCH) and Convolutional Coded (CC) OFDM system is investigated for multipath fading channel with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). The simulation results show that the proposed concatenated code needs lower Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) when compared with single BCH code, single convolutional code and even with other concatenated systems. Throughout the simulations BCH coding is performed with 128, 256, 512 Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) lengths; whereas convolutional coding is performed with 1/2, 1/3 coding rates. Furthermore, interleavers are added to the system to prevent the burst errors that occur over the channel. With the proposed system, the best result is obtained by using BCH(511,340) and CC(3,1,7) concatenation which is 8.2 dB SNR value for 10^?3 Bit Error Rate (BER). This result is very close to ideal AWGN channel value, which is 8 dB for 10^?3 BER.

High Diversity Transceiver for Low Power Differentially Encoded OFDM System

In this work, we investigate differentially encoded blind transceiver design in low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) regimes for orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing (OFDM) signaling. Owing to the fact that acquisition of channel state information is not viable for short coherence times or in low SNR regimes, we propose a time‐spread frequency‐encoded method under OFDM modulation. The repetition (spreading) of differentially encoded symbols allows us to achieve a target energy per bit to noise ratio and higher diversity. Based on the channel order, we optimize subcarrier assignment for spreading (along time) to achieve frequency diversity of an OFDM modulated signal. We present the performance of our proposed transceiver design and investigate the impact of Doppler frequency on the performance of the proposed differentially encoded transceiver design. To further improve reliability of the decoded data, we employ capacity‐achieving low‐density parity‐check forward error correction encoding to the information bits.

Reducing ICI effect in OFDM system using low‐complexity Kalman filter based on comb‐type pilots arrangement

In OFDM systems, time‐varying channels destroy orthogonality between subcarriers causing Inter‐Carrier Interference. To reduce this effect, a Kalman filter, as a benchmark, is used for channel estimation, based on comb‐type pilot arrangements of the OFDM system. An advantage of comb‐type pilot arrangements in channel estimation is the ability to track the variation of the channel caused by Doppler frequency. Kalman method has been proposed to estimate the channel frequency response (CFR) at the pilot locations, then CFR, at data subchannels, is obtained by means of interpolation between estimates at pilot locations. The low‐complexity Kalman method is introduced to reduce the complexity of the system while achieving the same BER/SNR. Different types of interpolations have been also compared such as Low‐pass, Spline‐cubic and Linear interpolation methods. The BER/SNR performance of BPSK modulation schemes are considered for time varying Rayleigh fading channels. Our results has shown that the low‐complexity Kalman estimation, used with the pilot arrangement and a suitable interpolation method, gives almost the same performance as that of the Kalman method specially for low SNR values and hence the effect of Doppler shift effect is controlled.

IGCC for PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems Over the Nonlinearity of SSPA and Wireless Fading Channels

High peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems seriously impacts power efficiency in radio frequency section due to the nonlinearity of high-power amplifiers. In this article, an improved gamma correction companding (IGCC) is proposed for PAPR reduction and investigated under multipath fading channels. It is shown that the proposed IGCC provides a significant PAPR reduction while improving power spectral levels and error performances when compared with the previous gamma correction companding. IGCC outperforms existing companding methods when a nonlinear solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) is considered. Additionally, with the introduction of \(\alpha , \beta , \gamma \), and \(\varDelta \) parameters, the improved companding can offer more flexibility in the PAPR reduction and therefore achieves a better trade-off among the PAPR gain, bit error rate (BER), and power spectral density (PSD) performance. Moreover, IGCC improves the BER and PSD performances by minimizing the nonlinear companding distortion. Further, IGCC improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) degradation (\(\varDelta _{\mathrm{SNR}}\)) and total degradation performances by 12.2 and 12.8 dB, respectively, considering an SSPA with input power back-off of 3.0 dB. Computer simulation reveals that the performances of IGCC are independent of the modulation schemes and works with arbitrary number of subcarriers (N), while it does not increase computational complexity when compared with the existing companding schemes used for PAPR reduction in OFDM systems.

Interaction between Symbol Timing Offset and Channel Interpolation in OFDM Systems: BER Analysis and Performance Degradation

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, since the cyclic prefix (CP) is designed to be longer than the channel impulse response, there exists a certain range within the CP where symbol timing synchronization can be accomplished avoiding adjacent inter symbol interference. However, the appearance of a linear phase term across subcarriers in the frequency-domain due to symbol timing offset (STO) is known to affect the performance of channel interpolation. In this paper, we analyze the performance degradation due to the interaction between STO and channel interpolation in OFDM systems affected by multipath Rayleigh fading. Particularly, simple closed-form expressions for the bit error rate (BER) are obtained for different quadrature amplitude modulation constellations. Results show that there exists an irreducible BER floor due to STO and channel interpolation, which depends on the STO, the subcarrier index, the pilot spacing and the correlation between pilot subcarriers.     

Performance of coherent OFDM-CDMA for broadband mobile communications

Uncoded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission technique applied in a multipath environment has a bit error rate (BER) comparable with a narrowband radio channel because the fading of each subcarrier is frequency-nonselective. To overcome this behaviour and to reduce the BER, a combination of OFDM and CDMA has been proposed recently. In an OFDM-CDMA system the energy of each information symbol is spread over several subcarriers. Therefore a diversity gain can be obtained in a broadband fading channel.In this paper we discuss the performance of OFDM-CDMA with coherent QPSK signalling over a frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel. Channel estimation and demodulation are integral parts that determine the performance of the system. The method for channel estimation presented in this paper is based on a two-dimensional array of pilot symbols with second-order regression in the time domain and interpolation in the frequency domain. Quantitative comparison of four different detection algorithms in frequency-selective Rayleigh fading with noisy channel state information (CSI) will be presented in this paper: conventional correlation (equal gain correlation, EGC), orthogonality restoring correlation (ORC), ORC with a threshold in order to suppress subcarriers with low signal strength (TORC), and an iterative improvement based on a maximum likelihood approach. With TORC and iterative improvement a gain of approximately 9 dB over conventional OFDM can be obtained at a BER of 10^–3 in Rayleigh fading.
