In this paper, performance of a turbo-coded OFDM system is analyzed and simulated in a power line communication channel. Since the power line communication system typically operates in a hostile environment, turbo code has been employed to enhance reliability of transmitted data. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability. As turbo decoding algorithms, MAP (maximum a posteriori), Max-Log-MAP, and SOVA (soft decision Viterbi output) algorithms are chosen and their performances are compared. From simulation results, it is demonstrated that Max-Log-MAP algorithm is promising in terms of performance and complexity. It is shown that performance is substantially improved by increasing the number of iterations and interleaver length of a turbo encoder. The results in this paper can be applied to OFDM-based high-speed power line communication systems.

Frame synchronization is an critical factor for an effective operation of OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) based communication systems. In this paper, we present and analyze an efficient frame synchronization method based on m-sequence for OFDM-based mobile multimedia communication systems. The cyclic extension preceding OFDM frames is of decisive importance for this method. The m-sequence is added directly to cyclic extension signal in the time domain. By utilizing the autocorrelation characteristics of m-sequence, efficient frame synchronization can be achieved. And we also consider frequency offset estimation simultaneously. The proposed frame synchronization method can be applied to the OFDM-based mobile multimedia communication systems.

The BLAST-OFDM system is an efficient method for high data rate multimedia transmission in futurewireless communication system. In this paper, a linear preceding mechanism and an efficient antenna-subcarrier assignment algorithm are proposed for the conventional BLAST-OFDM system, in order to utilize the full spatial diversity and the interleaved frequency diversity. By computer simulation, the proposed system has proved to achieve 4-5㏈ gain over the conventional BLAST-OFDM system.

In the multi-carrier OFDM communication system for the high data rate transmission, the ICI caused by phase noise of transceiver local oscillator may degrade the system performance seriously. In this paper, a new ICI self-cancellation scheme using data-conjugate method is proposed to reduce the ICI caused by phase noise effectively. Then, the CPE, ICI and CIR are derived by the phase noise linear approximation method. Besides, to analyze the efficiency of system performance improvement, the proposed method is compared with the original OFDM and the conventional ICI self-cancellation scheme using data-conversion method. As results, the performance degradation caused by ICI can be mitigated effectively in the OFDM system with ICI self-cancellation scheme, and more performance improvement can be achieved by the proposed ICI self-cancellation scheme using data-conjugate method than the conventional ICI self-cancellation scheme using data-conversion method when phase noise exists.

There are a few core technologies to enable high-performance $4^{th}$ generation (4G) broadband wireless communication system. A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) provides high-rate transmission through expended channels by multiple array antennas in both sender and receiver side. Also orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is well-known as the most appropriate technique for high data rate transmission such as Mobile WiMAX and WLAN. Efficient decrease of inter-carrier interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI) are the reasons for why OFDM is suitable for high-performance transmission, 4G mobile communication. In this paper, we mainly focus on two of objects, combination between MIMO and OFDM, and OFDM channel simulator using Ray-tracing algorithm. The results of this paper can be used implementation of a Wireless Software Platform for 4G Mobile Communication Systems.

In this paper, an analytic transfer channel modeling function by impulse signal propagation effects in indoor power-line network are analysed. The modeled channel parameters of power line channel including background noise is applied to the OFDM system and we analysis BER for QPSK and 16-QAM modulation signals with simulation. By the representation of gain for OFDM modulation, we can estimate the characteristic parameters of OFDM in Broadband power line communication.

An OFDM system using cross-handed circular Polarization(XCP-OFDM) is newly proposed in his paper. The proposed XCP-OFDM system divides the subchannels into a right-handed circular polarization(RHP channel and a left-handed circular polarization(LHCP) channel that alternate each other. Therefore, the overlaps between subcarriers in XCP-OFDM system can be reduced to a great extend compared to the conventional OFDM system. By this reason, it can improve the orthogonality and reduce the inter-channel interference due to frequency offset. In this paper, it can be seen that the proposed XCP-OFDM system shows robust against frequency offset.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) is very effective forhigh data rate transmission system. However, communication performance becomes worse because of nonlinear distortion resulting from the PAPR. In this paper, we like to propose a tone-controlled CI/OFDM system including the TMD (inter-modulation distortion) reduction method in order to improve the BER performance. In this tone-controlled CI/OFDM system, control tone is additionally inserted in each data symbol of CI/OFDM system to make the CI/OFDM lower the PAPR and robust to nonlinear distortion. So, tone-controlled CI/OFDM using the IMD reduction method shows better BER (bit error rate) performance than methods based on PAPR reduction.

In this paper, the phase noise effects of OFDM transceiver diversity systems were analyzed. Since OFDM communication system is very sensitive to phase noise, the system performance may degrade seriously due to the increase of subcarrier interferences and system noise. Therefore, the phase noise model was suggested and its distribution and power were varied to investigate the effects of phase noise on the system performance. The degree of the system performance degradation depends on the specific diversity structures of transceiver systems. Here, the performances of OFDM systems with two antennas transceiver diversity were analyzed and compared with that of systems with only transmission diversity and without diversity as the phase noise characteristics varied.
