MC-CDMA and OFDM are digital modulation techniques where a single data symbol is transmitted at multiple subcarriers which we orthogonal to each other. With this technique, frequency diversity can be achieved. The performance of multi currier systems is analyzed. when data is transmitted over multi-path Rayleigh fading channel. The performance of this technique, gauged by the average bit error rate, is numerically analyzed for the system with the application of antenna diversity.

An important issue of supporting multi-users with diverse quality-of-service (QoS) requirements over wireless networks is how to optimize the systematic scheduling by intelligently utilizing the available network resource while, at the same time, to meet each communication service QoS requirement. In this work, we study the problem of a variety of communication services over multi-media heterogeneous cognitive OFDM system. We first divide the communication services into two parts. Multimedia applications such as broadband voice transmission and real-time video streaming are very delay-sensitive (DS) and need guaranteed throughput. On the other side, services like file transmission and email service are relatively delay tolerant (DT) so varying-rate transmission is acceptable. Then, we formulate the scheduling as a convex optimization problem, and propose low complexity distributed solutions by jointly considering channel assignment, bit allocation, and power allocation. Unlike prior works that do not care computational complexity. Furthermore, we propose the FAASA (Fairness Assured Adaptive Sub-carrier Allocation) algorithm for both DS and DT users, which is a dynamic sub-carrier allocation algorithm in order to maximize throughput while taking into account fairness. We provide extensive simulation results which demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed schemes.

The main disadvantage of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is its sensitivity to carrier frequency offset and timing offset. This paper proposes a simple way of improving the performance of the integer frequency offset (IFO) estimator in OFDM-based digital video broadcasting (DVB) system. By modifying the conventional maximum likelihood (ML) estimator to have multi-stage estimation strategy, IFO estimator is derived. Simulations indicate that the proposed IFO estimator works robustly with reduced computational burden when compared to ML estimator.

Recently, a multi-core system is studied for single terminal's operations on various service networks for mobile systems. Therefore, it is expected that mobile systems capable of supporting WCDMA, GSM, and WiBro would be developed. Mobile systems for supporting various service networks is able to be implemented on a single chipset via SoC(System on Chip) technology, thus a noble modem design proper for SoC technology is necessary. As those systems shall be operated at different frequency band with only a single terminal, a problem that a nonlinear characteristic according to the system and its frequency band is occurred. In this paper a noble modem design for multi-core systems is proposed and the nonlinear characteristics for those systems is analysed. The proposed modem design is based on OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and MC-CDMA scheme. And nonlinear characteristic analysis is done by PSD measurement.

In the upcoming 5-generation mobile communication system, various techniques for improving the power efficiency and spectral efficiency have been proposed. 5G mobile communication system also have been studied a lot of multi-carrier-based modulation techniques like the 4G mobile communication system. In this paper, we analyzed the conventional system structure of the Zero-tail DFT-s-OFDM and UW (Unique Word) -DFT-s-OFDM system based on DFT-s-OFDM system in these techniques. UW and zero are added and used each system, and CP is removed. the result of quality of systems for simulation, OOB(Out of Band) power of Zero-tail DFT-s-OFDM and UW-DFT-s-OFDM use the less time resource as long as CP length, also both systems are reduced about 11dB than DFT-s-OFDM system. In these result, Zero-tail DFT-s-OFDM and UW-DFT-s-OFDM system are more effective than DFT-s-OFDM system.

OFDM is a very attractive technique for achieving high-bit-rate data transmission and high spectrum efficiency. However, one of disadvantages of OFDM signal is the high PAPR characteristic when multi-carriers are added up coherently. In this Paper, we propose-scrambling scheme using correlator for PAPR reduction and reducing the amount of PAPR calculations. The simulation results show that this scheme has less computational complexity and reasonable PAPR reduction capability compared to PTS technique.

In this paper, the extension method of data transmission range as adapting AAS(Adaptive Antenna Systems) in ECMA(European Computer Manufacturers Association) standard MB-OFDM(MultiBand-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) UWB systems is proposed, and the complementary beamforming method which can solve hidden beam problem when we adapt AAS in CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) systems is proposed. To design the complementary beamforming, Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization is utilized, whose beam pattern exhibits perfect nulling at the main beam angles and provides uniform power for detection of channel utilization out of main beam. The proposed method can be utilized with any arbitrary beamforming when we make main beamforming. Through computer simulation, it can be shown that proposed AAS and complementary beamforming increase data transmission range from 2m to 3.95m in 480Mbps data transmission system and increase throughput about 20% as compared with general UWB AAS systems.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing or OFDM is a form of multi-carrier modulation technique. High spectral efficiency, robustness to channel fading, immunity to impulse interference, uniform average spectral density, capability of handling very strong echoes and less on linear distortion are among the favorite properties of OFDM. Even though there are many advantages of OFDM, t has two main drawbacks: high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) and frequency of offset. In this paper, the issue of PAPR in OFDM is discussed. A new algorithm is proposed to reduce PAPR by selecting the input sequences property using a lookup table.

Recently, a multi-core system is studied for single terminal's operations on various service networks for mobile systems. Therefore, it is expected that mobile systems capable of supporting WCDMA, MC-CDMA, CDMA and WiBro would be developed. Mobile systems for supporting various service networks is able to be implemented on a single chipset via SoC(System one Chip) technology, thus a noble modem design proper for SoC technology is necessary. For high speed data transmission of 4G mobile communication services, OFDM scheme has to be applied. But, an OFDM signal consists of a number of independently modulated subcarriers, and superposition of these subcarriers cause a problem that can give a large PAPR. In this paper, a noble modem design for 4G mobile communication services and PAPR reduction method for solving the PAPR problem are proposed.

One of evaluation indicators of candidate waveforms for 5G mobile communication is spectral efficiency improvement by OOB(Out of Band) power reduction technique. In this paper, time-frequency resource allocation characteristic of UFMC(Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier), FBMC(Filter Bank Multi-Carrier), and W-OFDM(Weighted Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system is evaluated and analyzed. As simulation results, spectral efficiency characteristic of these systems have been improved according to time resource allocation. In this paper, we can confirm that each system has similar time-frequency efficiency characteristic when the number of transmission bit is same and four symbols are transmitted with the linear system condition. Also, we can conclude that FBMC system has the lowest time-frequency resource efficiency under the nonlinear condition.
