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.

In this paper, we have designed a MIMO system using a W-OFDM modulation scheme. And then, we have evaluated and analyzed synchronization performance of the system. In this paper, we have considered Schmidl's method, Minn's method, and Park's method. As simulation results, Schmidl's method has wide plateau of timing metric and Park's method has impulse-shape timing metric. Also, we can confirm that timing metric characteristic of synchronization estimator is not changed by adjusting extension length of W-OFDM system. Because of this, we can confirm that synchronization method of OFDM can be effectively used in MIMO system using W-OFDM modulation.

In this paper, an efficient H/W implementation technique for guard interval in OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems is proposed and applied to ASIC chip design of an OFDM-based 25 Mbps wireless ATM modem. In OFDM systems, a cyclic prefix, longer than the largest multipath delay spread, is usually inserted to maintain the orthogonality of subchannels, by making the linear convolution of the channel ok like circular convolution inherent to the discreate Fourier domain, as well as to prevent the ISI(Intersymbol Interference) within the OFDM block. However, the OFDM system using the cyclic prefix requires an additional H/W in transmitter in order to store the original samples and to append the cyclic prefix to the beginning of each block. In this paper, a new approach using a cyclic prefix, even with a significantly lower H/W complexity. Finally, the performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated by applying it to ASIC chip design of an OFDM-based 25 Mbps wireless ATM modem.

This paper describes the performance evaluation and analysis of an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system having the least Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) in a multi-path fading channel environment. Wireless Local Area Network (W-LAN) in accordance with IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b provides high-speed transmission to universities, businesses and other various places. In addition, service providers can offer a public W-LAN service on restricted areas such as a subway. The proliferation of W-LAN has led to greater W-LAN service demands, but problems are also on the rise in offering a good W-LAN service. In particular, urban areas with high radio wave interference and many buildings are vulnerable to deteriorated QoS including disconnected data and errors. For example, when high-speed data is transmitted in such areas, the relatively high frequency generates ISI between Access Points (AP) and Mobile Terminals (such as a notebook computer), leading to a frequency selective fading channel environment. Consequently, it is difficult to expect a goodW-LAN service. The simulation proves that the OFDM system enables W-LAN to implement QoS in high-speed data transmission in a multi-path fading channel environment. The enhanced OFDM performance with 52 sub-carriers is verified via data modulation methods such as BPSK, QPSK and 16QAM based on IEEE 802.11a and punched convolutional codes with code rate of 1/2 and 3/4 and constraint length of 7. Especially, the simulation finds that the OFDM system has better performance and there is no data disconnection even in a mobile environment by applying a single tap equalizer and a decision feedback equalizer to a mobile channel environment with heavy fading influence. Given the above result, the OFDM system is an ideal solution to guarantee QoS of the W-LAN service in a high-speed mobile environment.

An invesitigation on power consumption of a mobile multimedia system using OFDM and MDVS technique is reported here. Analysis and simulation are performed to find the significances of proposed Microscopic Dynamic Voltage Scaling(MDVS) tehnique[4] on digital processor in terms of power saving. A study is also made to show power reduction in mobile multimedia system by incorporating OFDM modulation scheme in RF front-end. Finally, overall power consumption by functionally distinguished blocks ie. RF front-end, digital processor and human interface unit is shown here. Total power consumption is 8.2W for 2Mbps SD-quality WCDMA multimedia video service - the power consumption of digital processor is 3.9W(48%), the power consumption of RF front-end is 3.2W (36%), and the power consumption of interface is 1.8W(16%). Power saving of applying purposed MDVS technique is 35% in digital processor, and power saving of OFDM technique is 10-12dB in RF front-end.

In this paper, we introduce a new partial transmit sequence (PTS) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme with low computational complexity. In the proposed scheme, $2^n$-point inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) is divided into two parts. An input symbol sequence is partially transformed using the first l stages of IFFT into an intermediate signal sequence and the intermediate signal sequence is partitioned into a number of intermediate signal subsequences. Then, the remaining n - l stages of IFFT are applied to each of the intermediate signal subsequences and the resulting signal subsequences are summed after being multiplied by each member of a set of W rotating vectors to yield W distinct OFDM signal sequences. The one with the lowest peak to average power ratio (PAPR) among these OFDM signal sequences is selected for transmission. The new PTS OFDM scheme reduces the computational complexity while it shows almost the same performance of PAPR reduction as that of the conventional PTS OFDM scheme.

This paper presents a novel 90 GHz band 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system. The system can deliver 6 Gbps through six channels with a bandwidth of 3 GHz. Each channel occupies 500 MHz and delivers 1 Gbps using 16-QAM OFDM. To implement the system, a low-noise amplifier and an RF up/down conversion fourth-harmonically pumped mixer are implemented using a $0.1-{\mu}m$ gallium arsenide pseudomorphic high-electron-mobility transistor process. A polarization-division duplex architecture is used for full-duplex communication. In a digital modem, OFDM with 256-point fast Fourier transform and (255, 239) Reed-Solomon forward error correction codecs are used. The modem can compensate for a carrier-frequency offset of up to 50 ppm and a symbol rate offset of up to 1 ppm. Experiment results show that the system can achieve a bit error rate of $10^{-5}$ at a signal-to-noise ratio of about 19.8 dB.

In this paper, STBC (Space Time Block Code) is applied to the WB system and frequency repeated diversity is used to get the 4-th order space time diversity gain. The performance of が STDB-OFDM system is analyzed by computer simulation. As a result of simulation, proposed W system can reduce the complexity that is introduced by increasing number of transmit antenna and show the same performance of 4 antennas with only using 2. Proposed system shows the enhancement of 7.1 dB compared to the general UWB OFDM and 1.9 dB compared to UWB STBC-OFDM.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with multiple transmit antennas can exploit space-time block coding on each subchannel for reliable data transmission. Spacetime coded OFDM systems, however, are very sensitive to time variant channels because the channels need to be static over multiple OFDM symbol periods. In this paper, we propose to mitigate the channel variations in the frequency domain using a linear filter in the frequency domain that exploits the sparse structure of the system matrix in the frequency domain. Our approach has reduced complexity compared with alternative approaches based on time domain block-linear filters. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed frequency domain block-linear filter reduces computational complexity by more than a factor of ten at the cost of small performance degradation, compared with a time domain block-linear filter.

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.
