EM‐based noise plus interference estimation for OFDM‐based cognitive radio systems

In this paper, we consider the narrowband interference problem for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)‐based cognitive radio (CR) systems, in which parts of the OFDM subcarriers and parts of the data frame can be seriously interfered, resulting in significant performance degradation. We propose a scheme of iterative noise plus interference estimation and decoding (IED) to mitigate the performance degradation caused by the narrowband interference, which is based on expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. To reduce the number of OFDM symbols for time domain averaging required in the proposed scheme, and adapt the proposed scheme to rapid changing narrowband interference conditions, we also propose an IED scheme with frequency domain partial averaging (IED‐FPA). Moreover, we derive the Cramér‐Rao lower bounds for unbiased noise plus interference variance estimations, and they can be achieved via the proposed IED schemes. Simulation results show that the proposed IED‐FPA scheme can effectively achieve the same performance as that of the optimal maximum likelihood decoder with full knowledge of the power plus interference variances, and the proposed IED‐FPA scheme is very robust with respect to the number of the interfered subcarriers and positive errors of the knowledge of the interfered subcarriers' number.

Channel Estimation for Pilot-Aided OFDM Systems in Single Frequency Network

In single frequency network (SFN), there exist some special long delay spread channels as well as conventional multipath channels. For pilot-aided orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) systems, channel estimation is usually accomplished by interpolation with pilots. However, few pilot sub-carriers exist within the coherent bandwidth of the long delay spread channels in SFN. In this case, conventional frequency domain interpolation methods cannot work properly. In a narrowband channel, this paper indicates that both the real and the imaginary parts of channel frequency response can be accurately approximated as a sine-wave with DC offset. For many practical pilot-aided OFDM systems, the bandwidth of the narrowband channel mentioned before is comparable with the interval between several adjacent pilot sub-carriers. Then this paper proposes a sine-wave based frequency domain interpolation method for the channel estimation of pilot-aided OFDM systems in SFN. As simulation results show, the proposed method performs well in the long delay spread channel, whereas the mismatched Wiener interpolation filter (WIF) estimates channel response inaccurately. Moreover, the proposed method gives accurate channel estimation in conventional multipath channels, especially for the systems which adopt high order modulations.     

Frequency shift filter‐based multi‐carrier transceiver

It is well known that orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is sensitive to carrier frequency offset (CFO) and suffers from a high peak‐to‐average ratio. In addition, the performance of OFDM is severely affected by strong co‐channel interference and strong narrowband interference. To mitigate the limitations of OFDM, we propose a new multi‐carrier transceiver based on frequency‐shift filter. A frequency‐shift filter can separate spectrally overlapping sub‐carrier signals by exploiting the spectral correlation inherent in the cyclostationary modulated signals. To increase spectral efficiency, we increase the percentage of spectral overlap between two adjacent sub‐channels. We derive an upper bound and a lower bound on the bit error rate performance of the proposed multi‐carrier transceiver in additive white Gaussian noise channel and frequency‐nonselective Rayleigh fading channel, respectively. Compared with OFDM, our simulation results show that the proposed multi‐carrier transceiver is much less sensitive to CFO and has a lower peak‐to‐average ratio; moreover, without any additional interference suppression technique, the proposed transceiver has the advantage of being able to mitigate strong co‐channel interference with CFO from the intended multi‐carrier signal and mitigate strong narrowband interference in additive white Gaussian noise channel and in Rayleigh fading channel in which a large CFO between the transmitted signal and the received signal often occurs.

Multicarrier CDMA overlay for ultra-wideband communications

In this letter, the performance of multicarrier code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems is studied in the presence of narrowband interference for future ultra-wideband (UWB) communications. A Nakagami fading channel is assumed, and notch filters along with diversity techniques are used in the multicarrier CDMA receiver. A complete performance analysis of error probability is given. It is shown that when the number of subcarriers jammed by narrowband interference is small, the multicarrier receiver without notch filters can work well, due to the gain of frequency diversity from nonjammed subcarriers. On the other hand, when the number of subcarriers jammed by the narrowband interference is large, using notch filters can improve the multicarrier system performance significantly.
