Pilot self-coding applied in optical OFDM systems

This paper studies the frequency offset correction technique which can be applied in optical OFDM systems. Through theoretical analysis and computer simulations, we can observe that our proposed scheme named pilot self-coding (PSC) has a distinct influence for rectifying the frequency offset, which could mitigate the OFDM performance deterioration because of inter-carrier interference and common phase error. The main approach is to assign a pilot subcarrier before data subcarriers and copy this subcarrier sequence to the symmetric side. The simulation results verify that our proposed PSC is indeed effective against the high degree of frequency offset.     

Dynamic fractional frequency reuse (D‐FFR) for multicell OFDMA networks using a graph framework

A graph‐based framework is proposed in this paper to implement dynamic fractional frequency reuse (D‐FFR) in a multicell Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) network. FFR is a promising resource‐allocation technique that can effectively mitigate intercell interference (ICI) in OFDMA networks. The proposed D‐FFR scheme enhances the conventional FFR by enabling adaptive spectral sharing as per cell‐load conditions. Such adaptation has significant benefits in practical systems where traffic loads in different cells are usually unequal and time‐varying. The dynamic adaptation is accomplished via a graph framework in which the resource‐allocation problem is solved in two phases: (1) constructing an interference graph that matches the specific realization of FFR and the network topology and (2) coloring the graph by use of a heuristic algorithm. Various realizations of FFR can easily be incorporated in the framework by manipulating the first phase. The performance improvement enabled by the proposed D‐FFR scheme is demonstrated by computer simulation for a 19‐cell network with equal and unequal cell loads. In the unequal‐load scenario, the proposed D‐FFR scheme offers significant performance improvement in terms of cell throughput and service rate as compared to conventional FFR and previous interference management schemes.

Effects of Time-Variant WSSUS Channel on the Performance of OFDM Systems

The long symbol duration makes Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) robust against frequency-selective fading, and also makes OFDM sensitive to time-selective fading. First, this paper deduces the Inter-subCarrier Interference (ICI) caused by time-selective fading, and then analyzes in detail how time-selective fading affects the performance of OFDM system, e.g. Bit-Error Rate (BER) and the channel capacity of each subcarrier. At last, some simulation figures are given.     

A Blind Adaptive Technique for Cancelling ICI in OFDM-WPAN Systems

This paper proposes a hybrid OFDM/TDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing/Time Division Multiple Access) scheduling method to obtain fine bit-rate granularity in wireless personal area networks (WPANs). A new blind adaptive receiver structure that combats the effects of inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by users’ frequency offsets is also proposed to improve the system throughput. The proposed blind adaptive receiver is based on constant modulus (CM) criterion and requires no more knowledge of the frequency offsets of interferers’ signals than the conventional receiver. The advantage of our countermeasure is that frequency-guard or redundant data is not needed, thus the throughput performance will not degrade, and estimation of the frequency offset is also no longer necessary. In order to make the adaptive receiver realizable, we develop a soft-constraint-satisfaction (SCS) based algorithm to achieve faster convergence. Simulation results show that our proposal is capable of significantly reducing the influence of ICI.     

Linear Space-Time Precoding for OFDM Systems Based on Long-Term Channel State Information

This work addresses the severe performance degradation for OFDM systems when long channel delays exceed the guard interval. Such long delays can be seen as an interference source on the one hand and also as a valuable frequency diversity source on the other hand. Instead of simply suppressing such long delays, e.g. by beamforming at the transmitter, we propose a new precoding scheme, which attempts to find an optimum trade-off between the interference suppression and the diversity gain. An optimization problem is formulated by exploiting only long-term channel state information instead of instantaneous one. Then, it is solved based on the minimum mean square error criterion with a constraint on the transmit power. Computer simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional beamforming scheme.

Better wavelet packet tree based OFDM for multipath powerline channel

In this work, better wavelet packet tree structures are searched to reduce the sum of ISI and ICI powers (integrated power) in Daubechies wavelet-based OFDM system over a practical two path low-voltage powerline channel or two way multipath channel. Better wavelet tree structures are obtained by using a brute-force algorithm. Results show that better wavelet packet tree structures perform better than conventional Mallat structures for the same bandwidth occupancy.     

ICI compensation in MISO-OFDM system affected by frequency offset and phase noise

In MISO-OFDM system, ICI which is caused by frequency offset and phase noise breaks down orthogonality between sub-carriers and degrades system performance. In this paper, to compensate integrated effect of frequency offset and phase noise, several ICI self-cancellation methods are proposed; and CPE, ICI and CIR are derived theoretically in MISO-OFDM system. As results, by choosing several ICI self-cancellation methods appropriately, considerable performance improvement can be achieved in the MISO-OFDM system which affected by frequency offset and phase noise.

多普勒频移和接收载波频差使OFDM系统中各个子载波的正交性得到破坏,产生载波间干扰(IC I)。本文分析了分组衰落信道下OFDM系统各个子载波的信干比(SIR),得出载波间干扰主要集中在相邻的几个子载波上,由此提出了一种估计部分干扰系数来线性均衡OFDM符号中子信号的方法,从而改善接收信号的信干比,提高系统性能。仿真结果表明,使用相邻2个和4个子载波的干扰系数时,接收信号的信干比增益为6dB和10dB,较有效地克服了OFDM系统中载波间干扰。
