In this paper, we compare the performance of IS-OFDM(interference suppressing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) system with that of the conventional OFDM system. Each parallel branch symbol of IS-OFDM is multiplied by the orthogonal sequence and distributed into all sub-carriers. Then, each sub-carrier transmits information composed of the symbol components of all parallel branches in the given frame. The structure of IS-OFDM shows the frequency diversity characteristic. Therefore, IS-OFDM can be robust to the narrowband interference. BER performances are found in the narrow-band interference and a harmonic noise channels. When JSR(Jamming to signal ratio) increases from -10 dB to +10 dB in the constant interference bandwidth, IS-OFDM outperforms the conventional OFDM and the BER difference between IS-OFDM and OFDM is reduced as JSR increases. Also, the similar properly can be shown when interference bandwidth increases at the constant JSR. In the harmonic noise channel, we can find the good performance of IS-OFDM when the h-rate(harmonic noise bandwidth to signal bandwidth ratio) increases from 0.01 to 0.8. So, simulation results show that the IS-OFDM is more robust to the interference than the conventional OFDM.

The timing offset is one of the main error sources in estimating the frequency offset in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Although some works have been done to mitigate the influence of the timing offset on the frequency offset estimation, most of the investigations require the knowledge of the timing offset range, which is not generally available in practical systems. In this paper, we propose a new frequency offset estimation scheme using differential combining between two successive correlation samples, which does not require the knowledge of the timing offset range, and thus, is robust to the timing offset variation. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme is not only robust to the timing offset variation, but also generally performs better than the conventional scheme on the average, in the case of the timing offset range being not known exactly.

In this paper, we compare the transmission performance of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) under long duration multipath channel environments. This paper generates underwater channels through Bellhop based on the underwater environmental data of the west sea. BER performance of CDMA and OFDM are analyzed through various underwater channels based on the channels. Computer simulations result show that CDMA has better performance than OFDM when multipath delay time of underwater channel is shorter than spreading factor (SF). However, OFDM has better BER performance than CDMA as multi-path delay time increases.

In this paper, we analyze the STO (Symbol Timing Offset) problem in conventional ZP-OFDM (Zero Padding-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems and propose a robust ZP-OFDM system with bi-directional overlap-add scheme to overcome the problem. The proposed ZP-OFDM system is able to preserve the orthogonality between subcarriers and reduce the interference from other ZP-OFDM symbols due to the BOA scheme, which exploits both ZP intervals of the previous and the current ZP-OFDM symbols, even though serious STOs result from inaccurate symbol timing synchronization. Simulation results verify that the proposed ZP-OFDM system is superior to the conventional ZP-OFDM system.

In this paper, an equalization technique for OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) in a time-variant multipath fading environment is described. A loss of subchannel orthogonality due to time-varying multipath fading channels leads to interchannel interference (ICI) which increases the error floor in proportion to Doppler frequency. A simple frequency-domain equalizer which can compensate the effect of ICI caused by time variation of multipath fading channel is proposed by modifying the previous frequency-domain equalization technique with taking into account only the ICI terms significantly affecting the error performance. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated via computer simulation by applying it to OFDM systems when the multipath fading channel is slowly time variant.

This paper proposes a new polarization diversity scheme for OPFDM (Orthogonal Polarization and Frequency Division Multiplexing). OPFDM is an extension of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) in conjunction with polarization multiplexing in order to ensure the orthogonality amongst subcarriers. Since OPFDM uses two orthogonally polarized channels, it can easily employ the polarization diversity. In order to get the diversity gain effectively in a frequency selective fading channel, the proposed scheme combines the signals in subcarrier-by-subcarrier basis. The computer simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme is superior to conventional one in the two orthogonally polarized two-ray Rayleigh fading channels with cross-talk between the two channels.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is robust to frequency selective fading and narrowband interference in high-speed data communications. However, an OFDM signal consists of a number of independently modulated subcarriers, which can give a large PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) when added up coherently. In this paper, we apply clipping and filtering to solve the PAPR problem and compensate the inband compensation using calculated EVM (Error Vector Magnitude). The proposed method can reduce the PAPR and inband distortion. From the results, we analyze the PAPR reducing efficiency and EVM, BER performance of proposed algorithm in the wireless communication system.

The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique and the single carrier with cyclic prefix (SC-CP) scheme are very attractive solutions for wireless applications, being computationally efficient since equalization is performed in the frequency domain. The equalizer could not entirely handle significant mean. Doppler shift. This motivates the use of a phase error tracking loop that operates jointly with the frequency equalizer. This paper describes the effect of the mean phase error and the performance of the proportional equalizer coupled with a phase error tracking loop based on decision-directed method. Furthermore, simulation results show that we can reduce the computational toad of the tracking loop with minimal performance degradation.

In this paper, a new OFDM scheme, IS-OFDM(Interference Suppressing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), which has the capabilities of suppressing narrow-band interference for wide-band wireless communication systems, is introduced. This IS-OFDM system is composed of the parallel stages of ordinary OFDM, and each sub-carrier contains all of the transmitted symbols. Using Hadamard sequences, the transmitted information symbols in the same sub-carriers are separated from the other sub-carriers in the receiver. After analyzing and evaluating the performance of IS-OFDM system using Monte-Carlo simulation, the effective improvements of performance in IS-OFDM compare favorably with that of a conventional OFDM system in a narrow-band channel, is shown.

We propose a blind feedforward phase noise mitigation method in the time-domain for a coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. By exploiting the redundancy of the cyclic prefix (CP), the proposed scheme acquires the overall phase noise difference information during an OFDM block and attempts to mitigate the phase noise in the time domain using a linear approximation. The proposed algorithm mitigates common phase error (CPE) and inter-carrier-interference (ICI) due to phase noise simultaneously, improving the system performance, especially when decision-directed equalizers are used. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed feedforward phase noise mitigation approach in time domain.
