Phase Estimation for Coherent Optical OFDM

Phase estimation is one of the enabling functionalities in coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division-multiplexing (CO-OFDM) receivers. In this letter, we compare pilot-aided and data-aided phase estimation methods for a CO-OFDM transmission experiment at 8 Gb/s over 1000-km standard single-mode fiber without optical dispersion compensation. We also show that as few as five subcarriers are sufficient for pilot-aided phase estimation     

Subspace-based blind and semi-blind channel estimation for OFDMsystems

This paper proposes a new blind channel estimation method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The algorithm makes use of the redundancy introduced by the cyclic prefix to identify the channel based on a subspace approach. Thus, the proposed method does not require any modification of the transmitter and applies to most existing OFDM systems. Semi-blind procedures taking advantage of training data are also proposed. These can be training symbols or pilot tones, the latter being used for solving the intrinsic indetermination of blind channel estimation. Identifiability results are provided, showing that in the (theoretical) situation where channel zeros are located on subcarriers, the algorithm does not ensure uniqueness of the channel estimation, unless the full noise subspace is considered. Simulations comparing the proposed method with a decision-directed channel estimator finally illustrates the performance of the proposed algorithm     

Performance Analysis of Analytic Interpolator for Comb-Type Pilot-Aided Channel Estimation in OFDM Systems Without ICI

Pilot-aided channel estimation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems often needs an interpolation technique to construct the channel frequency response on nonpilot subcarriers. Many studies on interpolations have been published; however, the performance of interpolations such as cubic spline interpolation and linear interpolation is limited by either the number or the position of the pilot subcarriers. This paper proposes an analytic interpolator developed using a linear least square criterion to replace conventional interpolation techniques for comb-type pilot-added channel estimation in OFDM systems without inter-carrier interference. The performance evaluation of the analytic interpolator is performed both on the basis of theory and through simulation, and the results from both the analyses are found to be in good agreement. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively mitigate the ill-influences of limitations on the number and position of the pilot subcarriers and that it also outperforms the cubic spline interpolation and linear interpolation, especially for short or nonequidistant pilot patterns.     

TWA-based channel estimation for CO-OFDM systems

An efficient channel estimation method called time-domain weighted average （TWA） algorithm is proposed for coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （CO-OFDM） systems. On the premise of calculating the associated weight of channel transfer function, a more exact channel characteristic is obtained by calculating the weighted average of the pilot transfer function in this algorithm. Compared with time-domain average （TA） algorithm, the TWA algorithm can reach the same bit error rate （BER） with fewer pilots, and it improves the performance of CO-OFDM systems.     

Low power ring oscillator for IoT applications

In order to scale with the demand of higher data rates and improved spectral efficiency in next generation wireless communication systems, a large-scale multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technology called massive MIMO has been proposed. In massive MIMO, appropriate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values can be achieved by the addition of base station (BS) antennas in place of increasing transmit power. Pilot-based channel estimation is widely used in conventional MIMO systems, where pilot signal sequences are sent from the user terminals (UTs) to the BS to estimate the channel. In massive MIMO-based cellular networks, channel estimation in a given cell will be impaired by the pilot signal sequences transmitted by users in other cells—rendering the addition of antennas or transmit power ineffective. This effect is called pilot contamination. Therefore, pilot-based channel estimation limits the performance of massive MIMO. Semi-blind and blind methods are alternatives to pilot-based channel estimation that perform channel estimation with short pilot signal sequences and without pilot signal sequences, respectively. Blind channel estimation is one of the promising solutions to the pilot contamination problem in massive MIMO. This paper compares, using MATLAB simulations of a cluster-based COST 2100 channel model, the performance of pilot-based, semi-blind, blind, and adaptive-blind channel estimation methods. The pilot contamination effect on different channel estimation methods and how channel estimation methods can be used to overcome pilot contamination are shown. Finally, an adaptive independent component analysis (ICA)-based channel estimation method, which outperforms conventional ICA in terms of computational complexity, is proposed.     

A novel phase noise compensation algorithm combining the DF algorithm with LCSC algorithm in CO-OFDM systems

A novel phase noise (PN) compensation algorithm based on the decision feedback (DF) algorithm and the linear combination self cancellation (LCSC) algorithm is proposed to improve the system performance degradation caused by laser linewidth in coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. In this proposed LCSC-DF algorithm, the LCSC algorithm is used to precode the subcarrier information at the transmitter and decode the demodulation information and inter-carrier interference (ICI) related information at the receiver. And then the pilot information is used to obtain the final compensation signal by the improved DF algorithm. The simulation results show that the PN compensation performance of the proposed LCSC-DF algorithm is better than that of the DF algorithm. Furthermore, with the increase of the signal to noise ratio (SNR), its bit error rate (BER) performance approaches to that of the SC-DF algorithm at the larger PN linewidth. The subcarriers utilization ratio of the proposed algorithm is higher than that of the SC-DF algorithm. As a result, the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the performance of the system.     

基于加权的FBMC系统信道估计新算法

具有高频谱效率和低带外衰减的滤波器组多载波传输/偏移正交幅度调制(FBMC/OQAM)系统由于仅满足实数域正交条件,在实际应用中固有干扰严重影响信道估计(CE)性能.基于干扰消除的算法可以通过设计合理的导频结构消除导频周围固有干扰的影响,该类方法简单,但是信道估计的性能容易受到噪声的影响.块状导频结构的子载波之间具有比较强的相关性,导致信道估计结果中存在冗余信息.为了利用这些冗余信息,提出一种估计值加权的新算法,以提高信道估计的性能.仿真结果表明,新算法的误码率性能明显优于传统算法.     

针对DTMB-A系统的相位噪声消除算法

相位噪声会破坏OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) 符号内频域子载波的正交性,产生公共相位误差（CPE, Common Phase Error）和子载波间干扰（ICI, Inter-Carrier Interference）,对系统性能造成严重影响。针对数字电视地面广播传输标准演进方案（DTMB-A）的相位噪声问题,本文提出了一种两步结合的相位噪声估计和消除算法。首先,利用相邻两帧的帧头符号中所包含的PN（Pseudo Noise）序列,对帧体符号内的公共相位误差进行粗估计;随后,对帧体数据子载波进行标记,选取合适的子载波集合用于估计公共相位误差和子载波间干扰的精确结果。由此获得相位噪声频域估计结果后,通过快速傅立叶变换（FFT, Fast Fourier Transform）得到时域估计结果并进行消除。和现有基于判决反馈的相位噪声估计算法对比,本文所提算法的创新性在于采用了粗估计和精确估计结合的方法,同时利用子载波标记的方法有效降低了由于错误判决导致的误码扩散。仿真结果表明在现有算法已经不能正常工作的情况下,本文所提算法还可以有效的抑制相位噪声对系统性能的影响。

Joint estimation and compensation of transceiver IQ imbalance for PDM CO-OFDM system

In this paper, a frequency-domain mathematical model is deduced for polarization-division multiplexing(PDM) coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(CO-OFDM) system with transceiver in-phase and quadrature(IQ) imbalances. A novel training symbol structure is designed in which the mirror-subcarriers of pilot subcarriers were modulated with zero signal so that the channel distortion with transceiver IQ imbalances can be estimated. It proves that the channel distortion and transmitter IQ imbalances cannot be separated using the training symbols;therefore, the channel equalization method was used to recover the signals. Simulation results show that at 2 dB transmitter amplitude imbalances, 15° transmitter phase imbalances, 100 Gbit/s transmission rate, 1 040 km standard signal-mode fiber link, and 1×10^-3 bit error rate, 23.5 dB optical signal-to-noise ratio(OSNR) is necessary for the proposed method. However, the compared schemes cannot achieve effective transmission.     

Blind Frequency Ambiguity Resolution in OFDM Systems Using a Linear Precoder

This paper presents a technique of the blind frequency ambiguity resolution for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. The basic idea behind this method is a linear precoding scheme applied to data in predefined subcarriers before the inverse discrete Fourier transform to deploy a correlation structure, thus the integer part of the carrier frequency offset can be estimated after the discrete Fourier transform via cross correlation operations among these subcarriers. Performance analysis is carried out to gain insight into the relationship between the false estimation probability and system parameters. Allocation of these predefined subcarriers is optimized to avoid false estimation. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method and the performance comparison with the existing estimators.

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.
