Efficient ICI Self‐Cancellation Scheme for OFDM Systems

In this paper, we present a new inter‐carrier interference (ICI) self‐cancellation scheme — namely, ISC scheme — for orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing systems to reduce the ICI generated from phase noise (PHN) and residual frequency offset (RFO). The proposed scheme comprises a new ICI cancellation mapping (ICM) scheme at the transmitter and an appropriate method of combining the received signals at the receiver. In the proposed scheme, the transmitted signal is transformed into a real signal through the new ICM using the real property of the transmitted signal; the fast‐varying PHN and RFO are estimated and compensated. Therefore, the ICI caused by fast‐varying PHN and RFO is significantly suppressed. We also derive the carrier‐to‐interference power ratio (CIR) of the proposed scheme by using the symmetric conjugate property of the ICI weighting function and then compare it with those of conventional schemes. Through simulation results, we show that the proposed ISC scheme has a higher CIR and better bit error rate performance than the conventional schemes.

Kalman filter‐based channel estimation and ICI suppression for high‐mobility OFDM systems

The use of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in frequency‐selective fading environments has been well explored. However, OFDM is more prone to time‐selective fading compared with single‐carrier systems. Rapid time variations destroy the subcarrier orthogonality and introduce inter‐carrier interference (ICI). Besides this, obtaining reliable channel estimates for receiver equalization is a non‐trivial task in rapidly fading systems. Our work addresses the problem of channel estimation and ICI suppression by viewing the system as a state‐space model. The Kalman filter is employed to estimate the channel; this is followed by a time‐domain ICI mitigation filter that maximizes the signal‐to‐interference plus noise ratio (SINR) at the receiver. This method is seen to provide good estimation performance apart from significant SINR gain with low training overhead. Suitable bounds on the performance of the system are described; bit error rate (BER) performance over a time‐invariant Rayleigh fading channel serves as the lower bound, whereas BER performance over a doubly selective system with ICI as the dominant impairment provides the upper bound.

Novel ICI cancellation algorithm in OFDM systems

The Bit Error Rate (BER) caused by Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) increases greatly with the increase of frequency offset in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems.According to a typical OFDM signal model,this letter proves that the coefficient matrix of ICI is a unitary matrix whose inverse matrix is much easier to get,and then proposes a new ICI cancellation method with less computation complexity by sending typical pilot symbols.Compared with two existing ICI cancellation methods,self-cancellation and windowing cancellation,it is shown that the proposed algorithm can cancel ICI better and overcome the limitation of the two traditional methods.     

Inter‐carrier Interference Reduction Scheme for SFBC‐OFDM Systems

In this paper, we first analyze carrier‐to‐interference ratio performance of the space–frequency block coded orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing (SFBC‐OFDM) system in the presence of phase noise (PHN) and residual carrier frequency offset (RCFO). From the analysis, we observe that conventional SFBC‐OFDM systems suffer severely in the presence of PHN and RCFO. Therefore, we propose a new inter‐carrier interference (ICI) self‐cancellation method — namely, ISC — for SFBC‐OFDM systems to reduce the ICI caused by PHN and RCFO. Through the simulation results, we show that the proposed scheme compensates the ICI caused by PHN and RCFO in Alamouti SFBC‐OFDM systems and has a better performance than conventional schemes.

A new ICI mitigation method with generalized data‐allocation for OFDM systems

This paper describes an ICI mitigation method based on the generalized data‐allocation of (1, ?β) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. To improve the performance of the ICI mitigation for the higher‐frequency offset, we propose an efficient search algorithm to generate the sub‐optimal parameter β for maximizing the carrier‐to‐interference ratio (CIR). The CIR and bit error rate performances of the proposed method were derived in this paper. The performances with different carrier frequency offset scenarios were evaluated by computer simulations. According to the simulation results, the performance of the proposed ICI mitigation scheme is better than that of the conventional ICI self‐cancellation scheme and is nearly the same as that of the ICI self‐cancellation scheme for the optimal parameter β. Additionally, the proposed ICI mitigation scheme has a dramatically reduced hardware complexity in comparison with the ICI self‐cancellation scheme for the optimal parameter β.

Multicast beamforming with LOS self‐interference cancellation in full‐duplex wireless communications

In this paper, we consider a full‐duplex system where the access point installed with multiple transmitting antennas and a single receiving antenna serves several single‐antenna remote users. In this case, there are 2 kinds of interferences. One is the near‐field self‐interference (SI) induced by the simultaneous transmitting and receiving over the same band, and the other is the cochannel interference caused by the multicast broadcasting in the same band. A problem of near‐field SI cancellation and the cochannel interference suppression using transmit beamforming is formulated at the access point. This problem of ensuring the near‐field line‐of‐sight SI suppression benchmark and maximizing the minimum received signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio of remote receivers leads to a nonconvex NP‐hard optimization. Furthermore, we introduce a semidefinite relaxation technique coupled with linear program power adjustment and an outer bisection search loop to transform the problem into a convex optimization. This can be solved by the modern interior point methods. Simulations show that the proposed method is feasible even when the local receive antenna in near‐field and the remote receivers in far field are in the same direction.     

Robust ICI Self-cancellation OFDM Receiver with Dynamic Phase and Amplitude Estimations

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been applied in the current wireless local-area networks and digital video broadcasting since it is robust against the frequency-selective channels. However, there is still a crucial intercarrier-interference (ICI) problem due to Doppler effect, local frequency drift and sampling clock offset, associated with OFDM systems. Recently ICI self-cancellation schemes have been proposed to significantly reduce the ICI and empirically they greatly outperform the convolutional coding schemes adopted by the IEEE 802.11 standard. However, all existing ICI self-cancellation receivers are still sensitive to the phase and amplitude ambiguities due to the phase offset, the local oscillator frequency drift and the multipath reflections. Therefore, in this paper, a novel receiver design integrating the ICI self-cancellation with a proposed dynamic phase and amplitude estimation mechanism is introduced, which can well solve the ambiguity problem. The Monte Carlo simulation results show that our phase and amplitude estimators can greatly decrease the error probability for the final symbol detection in the ICI self-cancellation OFDM receivers.     

An inter-lighting interference cancellation scheme for MISO-VLC systems

In this paper, we propose an inter-lighting interference cancellation (ILIC) scheme to reduce the interference between adjacent light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and enhance the transmission capacity of multiple-input–single-output (MISO)-visible light communication (VLC) systems. In indoor environments, multiple LEDs have normally been used as lighting sources, allowing the design of MISO-VLC systems. To enhance the transmission capacity, different data should be simultaneously transmitted from each LED; however, that can lead to interference between adjacent LEDs. In that case, relatively low-received power signals are subjected to large interference because wireless optical systems generally use intensity modulation and direct detection. Thus, only the signal with the highest received power can be detected, while the other received signals cannot be detected. To solve this problem, we propose the ILIC scheme for MISO-VLC systems. The proposed scheme preferentially detects the highest received power signal, and this signal is referred as interference signal by an interference component generator. Then, relatively low-received power signal can be detected by cancelling the interference signal from the total received signals. Therefore, the performance of the proposed scheme can improve the total average bit error rate and throughput of a MISO-VLC system.

A Joint OFDM Channel Estimation and ICI Cancellation for Double Selective Channels

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems suffer significantly from inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by double selective channels. In this paper, we develop a two-stage hybrid channel estimation and ICI cancellation structure for OFDM. The double selective channels are approximated by an improved Basis Expansion Model (BEM), which is more accurate than the conventional BEM when the normalized Doppler frequency is smaller than one. Based on this improved model, a new ICI cancellation scheme is proposed to reduce ICI impact. Simulation results show that the framework performs well.
