OFDM communication system is effective for the high data rate transmission in the frequency selective fading channel. Since OFDM has high PAPR, OFDM signal may be distorted by the nonlinear HPA. In this paper, we propose an combined SLM and PTS method for reducing the PAPR in OFDM communication system. Proposed method increased some system complex in comparison with exiting method..

In the wide variety of radio propagation channel models, frequency selective fading which from multipath waves and diversity noises, electric and electronic devices ...etc in our environment, change characteristics of the sub channels in the wide bandwidth. so orthogonality among the OFDM subcarriers would be distorted and ICI(Inter Channel Interference), ISI(Inter Symbol Interference) be generated. This paper investigate BER characteristics of the OFDM System using Subband Grouping Method which adopted different channel modulation for each subband.

This paper describes an automatic threshold decision using a maximum mismatched correlation value in the direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) system. For received PN codes with different single-to-noise ratio (SNR), this scheme is able to detect a desired threshold value in the search mode, i.e. a maximum mismstched correlation value, so that value is utilized as a threshold for the verification mode. Performance of the proposed scheme in both the additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) and frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels is analyzed through the Monte Carlo simulation. And hardware implementation of this scheme using a DSP processor is demonstrated. The proposed acquisition shceme is compared to the conventional constant threshold (CT) scheme, and significant improvement of performance is shown. Analysis of system performance in the verification mode is presented, and key quantities such as the false alarm probability and the detection probability are derived in a AWGN channel.

This paper proposes the algorithm for tracking of the residual phase errors incurred by carrier frequency offset and sampling frequency offset in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems which are suitable for high data rate wireless communications. In the OFDM systems the subcarriers which are orthogonal to each other are modulated by digital data and transmitted simultaneously. The carrier frequency offset causes degradation of signal to noise ratio(SNR) performance and interference between the adjacent subcarriers. The errors in the sampling timing caused by the sampling frequency difference between the transmitter and the receiver sides also cause a major performance degradation in the OFDM systems. The residual error tracking and compensation mechanism is essential in the OFDM system since the carrier and the sampling frequency offset cause the loss of orthogonality resulting in the system performance loss. This paper proposes the scheme where the channel gain and the payload data information are reflected in the residual error tracking process which results in the reduction of the estimation error and the tracking performance improvements under the frequency selective fading wireless channels.

In this paper, signed-rank based nonparametric detectors are used for direct sequence code division multiple access pseudo-noise code acquisition systems in frequency-selective Rician fading channels. We first derive the locally optimum rank detector, and then propose the locally suboptimum rank (LSR) and k-th order modified signed-rank (MSRk) detectors using approximate score functions. We compare the serial and hybrid parallel double-dwell schemes using the LSR and MSRk detectors with those using the conventional squared-sum (SS) using the cell averaging constant false alarm rate processor and modified sign detectors. From the simulation results, it is shown that the LSR and MSRk detectors perform better than the SS detector using the cell averaging constant false alarm rate processor.

In this paper, we propose some PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) reduction methods using WHT(Walsh Hadamard Transform) to reduce high PAPR generated in OFDM system because of multi carrier modulation. These proposed methods are the methods which has additional PAPR reduction performance without a loss of bandwidth efficiency and a large increment of calculation complexity than common PAPR reduction methods by combining the WHT with some common methods. In this paper, we propose two PAPR reduction methods made by combining a SLM(Selective Mapping) and DSI(Dummy Sequence Insertion) with a WHT. From simulation result, we can find that the PAPR reduction methods using a WHT can get about 1 dB additional PAPR reduction performance than common PAPR reduction methods; they are SLM and DSI. And, because our proposed methods have not only PAPR reduction effect, but also frequency diversity effect, more stabile data transmission is possible in nonlinear HPA and multipath fading channel.

In this paper, we described a received signal model in terms of the starting point of FFT window and derive a post-detection SINR for the receiver with MMSE filter and the corresponding filter coefficients in order to mitigate the effects of interferences caused by time and frequency selective fading channels and time difference of arrival (TDoA) in OFDMA-based Mesh Networks. In addition, we proposed an MMSE Bidirectional Successive Detection (BSD) technique which can suppress the effects of interferences among multi-nodes without any redundant FFT operations. It was shown by simulation that the proposed interference suppression technique has not an error floor at higher average SNR than 30dB in terms of 64QAM uncoded BER contrary to the conventional techniques.

Powerline communications (PLC) is a promising medium for network access technology where smart grid aided network services can be provided. In the presence of frequency selective fading in the PLC channel, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a technique for reliable communications. This paper presents a spectral efficient method using a superimposed hidden pilot for OFDM-based PLC systems. Based on the scheme using a hidden pilot, it is possible to estimate the channel with no consumption of bandwidth, but with utilization of power allocated to the hidden pilot. Computer simulations showed that the proposed scheme provides higher achievable data rate than that of the conventional schemes in low voltage and medium voltage transmission lines.

In this paper, we evaluated the performance of Orthogonal MC/FH-CDMA system considering the hit of frequency hopping patterns, and obtained the degree of the performance improvement by adopting TCM scheme under frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. From the performance analysis, it is known that the error performance is improved, since delay time relative to symbol time is reduced as the number of carrier is increased. On the other hand, it is found that BER performance is improved about $5{\times}10^{-2}$ degree by adopting TCM scheme, and higher S/N is required if the QoS of voice (BER = $10^{-3}$) must be achieved.

IEEE 802.11a is a standard for the high-speed wireless local area network (WLAN), supporting from 6 up to 54 Mbps in a 5 GHz band. We propose a channel equalization algerian and a sampling clock recovery algorithm by utilizing the Viterbi decoder output of the IEEE 802.11a WLAN standard. The proposed channel equalizer adaptively compensates channel variations. The proposed system uses re-encoded Viterbi decoder outputs as reference symbols for the adaptation of the channel equalizer. It also extracts sampling phase information with the Viterbi decoder outputs for fine adjustment of the sampling clock. The proposed sampling clock recovery and equalizer are more robust to noise and frequency selective fading environments than conventional systems using only four pilot samples.
