This paper proposed an Inter-Carrier-Interference (ICI) Canceling Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) receiver for 5G mobile system to support 500 km/h linear motor high speed terrestrial transportation service. A receiver in such high-speed train sees the transmission channel which is composed of multiple Doppler-shifted propagation paths. Then, a loss of sub-carrier orthogonality due to Doppler-spread channels causes ICI. The ICI Canceler is realized by the following three steps. First, using the Demodulation Reference Symbol (DMRS) pilot signals, it analyzes three parameters such as attenuation, relative delay, and Doppler-shift of each multi-path component. Secondly, based on the sets of three parameters, Channel Transfer Function (CTF) of sender sub-carrier number 𝒏 to receiver sub-carrier number 𝒍 is generated. In case of 𝒏≠𝒍, the CTF corresponds to ICI factor. Thirdly, since ICI factor is obtained, by applying ICI reverse operation by Multi-Tap Equalizer, ICI canceling can be realized. ICI canceling performance has been simulated assuming severe channel condition such as 500 km/h, 2 path reverse Doppler Shift for QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM and 256QAM modulations. In particular, for modulation schemes below 16QAM, we confirmed that the difference between BER in a 2 path reverse Doppler shift environment and stationary environment at a moving speed of 500 km/h was very small when the number of taps in the multi-tap equalizer was set to 31 taps or more. We also confirmed that the BER performance in high-speed mobile communications for multi-level modulation schemes above 64QAM is dramatically improved by the use of a multi-tap equalizer.

In this paper, Digital MultiTone(DMT) is an emerging multi-carrier modulation scheme, which has been adopted for VDSL(Very high speed Digital Subscribe Line). A problem of DMT is its sensitivity to frequency offset between the transmitted and received carrier frequencies. This frequency offset introduces inter-carrier interference(ICI) in the DMT symbol. This paper is proposed an ICI cancelation scheme using Kalman Filtering. The performance of the proposed method is compared with conventional methods in terms of bit error rate performance, bandwidth efficiency, and computational complexity. Through simulations, it is shown that for high values of the frequency offset and for higher order modulation schemes, the EKF(Enhanced Kalman Filtering) method perform better than the others.

This paper presents the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) estimation based on A-Preamble of IEEE 802.16m IMT-Advanced WiMax system with simulation results. The downlink signal of IEEE 802.16m has two kinds of A-Preambles: the PA-Preamble and the SA-Preamble. This paper proposes the effective method of estimating SNR and SINR with A-Preambles, and also shows that this method can recognize the ICI(Inter-Carrier-Interference) occurrence due to doppler frequency. With the recognition of ICI, the mobile station can save the power by operating 1-tap equalizer in usual cases, and activating ICI mitigation module only when it perceives the ICI occurrence.

OFDM system has a disadvantage of sensitiveness about the effect of frequency offset caused by the discord of oscillators in the transmitter and receiver. Either, the frequency offsets in mobile radio channels distort the orthogonality between sub-carriers resulting in the inter-carrier interference(ICI). In this paper, we analyze the effect of the ICI and propose a new method using SC technique. To analyze BER(Bit Error Rate) and CIR(Carrier to Interference Ratio) performance of the proposed method. the simulation program MATLAB is used. By the simulation results, SNR performance is improved by this method. In case the frequency offset is 0.3 and 0.5, SNR gains are over 0.5dB and 1dB in the BPSK modulation and 1dB and 2dB in the QPSK modulation at BER of $10^{-3}$ respectively. In addition, CIR performance is improved over 15dB. As a result, the proposed method is more effective to improve the system performance than the conventional method.

In this paper, we propose an enhanced iterative ICI (Inter Carrier Interference) cancellation method for cooperative STBC-OFDM (Space Time Block Coded-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system. In cooperative STBC-OFDM system, ICI cancellation is necessary because ICI due to the independent local oscillators always exits. The conventional iterative ICI cancellation method has severe performance degradation due to the initial estimation error. Also the performance degradation increases as CFOs (Carrier Frequency Offsets) and modulation order increases. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an enhanced iterative ICI cancellation method which can reduce the initial estimation error by giving a priority to initial estimation and cancellation process. Through the complexity and performance comparisons, we verwey that the proposed method has better performance with approximately same complexity compared with the conventional method.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-code division multiplexing access(OFDM-CDMA) systems without guard interval can enhance the bandwidth performance more efficiently than the systems with guard interval. In this paper, a new technique for an OFDM-CDMA system without guard interval, which can eliminate inter-symbol interference(ISI) and inter-channel interference(ICI), is presented. The proposed algorithm is a new demodulation technique, based on the Pseudo-Decorrelator, and it is named PD algorithm. Simulation results show that the PD algorithm can combat ISI and ICI efficiently for an OFDM-CDMA system without guard interval. The BER performance of the PD algorithm is much better than that of a conventional OFDM-CDMA system without guard interval.

In this paper, a channel assignment technique to mitigate interferences due to ISI(Inter Symbol Interference) and ICI(Inter Carrier Interference) caused by TDoA(Time Difference of Arrival) among distributed MRs(Mesh Routers) in OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)-based WMN(Wireless Mesh Network) is proposed. The SINR(Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio) associated with the channel assignment for each MR is defined to minimize the effect of ISI and ICI due to TDoA in WMN, which is then used to propose an channel assignment technique considering fairness constraint. It is verified by computer simulation that the proposed channel assignment technique can improve the performance of BER(Bit Error Rate) in WMNs with compared to the conventional technique.

In OFDM system suitable for high capacity high speed broadband transmission, ICI caused by phase noise degrades system performance seriously by destroying the orthogonality among subcarriers. In this paper, a new STFBC method combining ICI self cancellation scheme and antenna, time, frequency diversity is studied to reduce ICI effectively. CPE and ICI are analyzed by the phase noise linear approximation method in the proposed STFBC OFDM system. CIR, PICR and BER are discussed to compare the system performance degraded by phase noise of PLL. As results, STFBC method significantly reduces ICI. Furthermore, the SCI that usually happens in the traditional STBC, SFBC diversity coding method can be easily avoided.

OFDM is very effective for the high speed communication system. However, OFDM has the problems of high PAPR and serious ICI, which is different from the single carrier system. Especially, ICI problem caused by phase noise, Doppler effect and frequency offset is main reason for poor performance since it breaks down the orthogonality between subcarriers in OFDM communication system. Therefore, WFMT modulation scheme is studied and the effect of the carrier frequency offset and phase noise is analyzed. WFMT modulation scheme is based on the wavelet theory and complex filter banks for synthesis and analysis of multichannel signal. WFHT modulation scheme keeps on the advantage of filter banks system and can be easily possible for the implementation of filter banks. In this paper, we compare ISI and ICI distortions of the WFMT and OFDM system due to the carrier frequency offset and phase noise. Also, we analyze the PAPR and BER performances in the HPA and ICI situation caused by the Doppler frequency shift and the frequency offset.
