In this paper, it is analyzed theoretically that the performance degradation, caused by carrier frequency offset, in an OFDM/M-ary PSK system. Then, when Turbo coding is adopted to an OFDM/M-ary PSK system, the degree of performance enhancement is evaluated. Finally, the maximum frequency offset is calculated to satisfy the BER performance required in a Turbo coded OFDM/M-ary PSK system. As results of analysis, it is shown that the more the number of M-ary is, the worse the BER performance is. Moreover, 7dB, 9dB, and 17dB of $E_b/N_o$ are required in QPSK, 8PSK and 16PSK systems, respectively in order to satisfy the error performance, $BER=10^{-3}$ for voice communication. If $E_b/N_o$ are 10㏈ and 15㏈, the frequency offset should be below 0.05 and 0.075, respectively, for voice communication. When Turbo coding is adopted to an OFDM/M-ary PSK system, the less the number of M-ary is, the greater the performance enhancement of Turbo coding is. If the number of a M-ary system of the system is below 16, it is found that required $E_b/N_o$ is about 8dB to satisfy $BER=10^{-5}$ Moreover, in the system the Turbo coding scheme, voice communication is available with greatly low$E_b/N_o$, and 8dB of $E_b/N_o$ is enough for data communication regardless of the permission range of frequency offset.

We need to establish standard for the ICT based on train control system. In order to solve the ISI problem, this paper evaluate the performance of OFDM and FDE system. We seem that OFDM system is better than FDE system. In order to solve ISI problem, SC System is needed a equalizer. And another method is OFDM System. If system is used SC with a equalizer, It is better than OFDM in terms of PAPR, but this system is not easy to use Multi-Antenna technique, i.e., beam-forming and MIMO-multiplexing. And If system is used high-order modulation, BER performance is worse than OFDM. If we think about in terms of PAPR problem, considerations are considered not significant because the size of relays is not considered in the communication between trains and ground.

In this paper, we introduce an ADSRC(hdvanced DSRC) OFDM packet communication system which has been developed by ETRI. The ADSRC system is targeted to provide high terminal mobility, high data rate and seamless service in roadside environment for mobile office services. We discuss the requirements of the ADSRC communication system for mobile office services, and the system design specification to meet them with regard to air interface. The ADSRC packet communication systems consist of the MAC processor block, the OFDM packet modem block and the RF block. The MAC processor block handles medium access control and the test. The OFDM packet modem transmits data packets at up to 24Mbps adaptively and recovers the data from RF block. We describe the ADSRC packet communication system architecture and the ADSRC system protocol.

Orthgonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) system is effective for the high data rate transmission in the frequency selective fading channel. In this paper we propose PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) reduction method of problem in OFDM system used Fuzzy theory that often control machine. This thesis proposes PAPR reducing method of OFDM system using Fuzzy theory. The advantages for using Fuzzy theory to reduce PAPR are that it is easy to manage the data and embody the hardware, and required smaller amount of operation. Firstly, we proposed simple algorithm that is reconstructed at receiver with transmitted overall PAPR which is reduced PAPR of sub-block using Fuzzy. Although there are some drawbacks that the operation of the system is increased comparing conventional OFDM system and it is needed to send the information about Fuzzy indivisually, it is assured that the performance of the system is enhanced for PAPR reducing. To evaluate the perfomance, the proposed search algorithm is compared with the proposed algorithm in terms of the complementary cumulative distribution function(CCDF) of the PAPR and the computational complexity. As a result of using the QPSK and 16QAM modulation, Fuzzy theory method is more an effective method of reducing 2.3 dB and 3.1 dB PAPR than exiting OFDM system when FFT size(N)=512, and oversampling=4 in the base PR of $10^{-5}$.

Wireless communication channels with the most severe multipath fading phenomenon that appears each time a different delay is caused by the frequency selective fading. At this time, ISI due to the performance degradation of wireless communication channels and data transfer speed gives the constraints. OFDM technique can remove ISI inserting longer guard interval than channel delay spread of channel between symbol. However, the multi-path delay of the channel to be serious with the guard interval can not eliminate ISI. In this case, using the equalizer must compensate. Especially, use of equalizer is need absolutely as data rate becomes high speed. In this paper, we analyze the BER performance with pre-equalization for MIMO-OFDM over fading channel. The results of this paper can be applied to MIMO-OFDM system with equalization.

Recently, novel candidate waveform techniques for spectral efficiency improvement was proposed in order to satisfy key performance indicators(KPIs) of 5th generation(5G) mobile communication. Multi-carrier based universal filtered multi-carrier(UFMC) and filter bank multi-carrier(FBMC) are very famous as 5G candidate waveform techniques. Also, weighted orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (W-OFDM) that has low-complexity is receiving the spotlight slowly. In this paper, firstly, we describe a basic OFDM system. And then, we also describe UFMC, FBMC, and W-OFDM system. Next, we evaluate and analyze spectrum and BER performance of these systems under the nonlinear high power amplifier(HPA) environment. As simulation results, spectrum characteristic and BER performance of UFMC, FBMC, and W-OFDM are similar to each other. Therefore, under the nonlinear HPA environment, W-OFDM system is more advantageous because W-OFDM system uses a simple time-domain windowing technique and has similar characteristics to the others.

OFDM system is very useful for the high speed communication system. However, OFDM system has a serious problem of high PAPR that results from the so many subcarriers in the same phase. This OFDM signal is distorted through the nonlinear HPA(High Power Amplifier). Tone reservation method is to insert tone signal in several types to reduce the PAPR after iterating this process by changing the tone signal. Also discrete cosine transform(DCT) can reduces the PAPR as multiplying the cosine value to change the angle and mix up with the data. In the paper, the combination of the TR method and DCT method is newly proposed for more effective reduction of the PAPR. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional simple TR method and DCT method with respect to the PAPR reduction and BER performance.

The low power consumption modulation is required for short range communication. In this paper, we analyze performance of low power consumption modulation scheme such as PSPM, PSSK and QAPM using OFDM transmission in AWGN channel. A PSPM, PSSK and QAPM modulation scheme are decrease in bandwidth efficiency but improved power efficiency than existing PSK and QAM. These modulation schemes can achieve power efficiency because every symbol of modulations has a zero-envelope period like PPM techniques. The OFDM system is high bandwidth efficiency than single carrier system. In this paper, we are propose the frequency domain mapping method for OFDM transmission using low power consumption modulation method. Also, we compare low power OFDM communication system regard to BER performance, throughput and PAPR.

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 improved 3dB by increasing the number of iterations, 2 to 8, and interleaver length of a turbo encoder, 100 to 5000. The results in this paper can be applied to OFDM-based high-speed power line communication systems.

Data transmission experiences multiplicative distortion in frequency nonselective fading channel. This distortion occurs in OFDM communication channel and can be compensated using an equalizer. Usually, in the case of LMS equalizer, eigenvalue distribution of training signal is enlarged. Large eigenvalue distribution causes principally the performance of a communication system to be deteriorated. This paper proposes a new algorithm that shows the same performance as the existing fast wavelet transform algorithm with less computational complexity. The proposed algorithm was applied to an adaptive equalizer of OFDM communication system. Matlab simulation results show a better performance than the existing one. The proposed algorithm was implemented in VHDL and simulated.
