Near-Instantaneously Adaptive HSDPA-Style OFDM Versus MC-CDMA Transceivers for WIFI, WIMAX, and Next-Generation Cellular Systems
Burts-by-burst (BbB) adaptive high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) style multicarrier systems are reviewed, identifying their most critical design aspects. These systems exhibit numerous attractive features, rendering them eminently eligible for employment in next-generation wireless systems. It is argued that BbB-adaptive or symbol-by-symbol adaptive orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) modems counteract the near instantaneous channel quality variations and hence attain an increased throughput or robustness in comparison to their fixed-mode counterparts. Although they act quite differently, various diversity techniques, such as Rake receivers and space-time block coding (STBC) are also capable of mitigating the channel quality variations in their effort to reduce the bit error ratio (BER), provided that the individual antenna elements experience independent fading. By contrast, in the presence of correlated fading imposed by shadowing or time-variant multiuser interference, the benefits of space-time coding erode and it is unrealistic to expect that a fixed-mode space-time coded system remains capable of maintaining a near-constant BER
Waveform Design for 5G and Beyond
5G is envisioned to improve major key performance indicators (KPIs), such as
peak data rate, spectral efficiency, power consumption, complexity, connection
density, latency, and mobility. This chapter aims to provide a complete picture
of the ongoing 5G waveform discussions and overviews the major candidates. It
provides a brief description of the waveform and reveals the 5G use cases and
waveform design requirements. The chapter presents the main features of cyclic
prefix-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) that is deployed in
4G LTE systems. CP-OFDM is the baseline of the 5G waveform discussions since
the performance of a new waveform is usually compared with it. The chapter
examines the essential characteristics of the major waveform candidates along
with the related advantages and disadvantages. It summarizes and compares the
key features of different waveforms.Comment: 22 pages, 21 figures, 2 tables; accepted version (The URL for the

Trade-off between complexity and BER performance of a polynomial SVD-based broadband MIMO transceiver
In this paper we investigate non-linear precoding solutions for the problem of broadband multiple-input multiple output(MIMO) systems. Based on a polynomial singular value decomposition (PSVD) we can decouple a broadband MIMO channel into independent dispersive spectrally majorised single-input single-output (SISO) subchannels. In this contribution, the focus of our work is to explore the influence of approximations on the PSVD, and the performance degradation that can be expected as a result
Alamouti OFDM/OQAM systems with time reversal technique
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing with Offset Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation (OFDM/OQAM) is a multicarrier modulation scheme that can be
considered as an alternative to the conventional Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) for transmission over multipath
fading channels. In this paper, we investigate the combination of the OFDM/OQAM
with Alamouti system with Time Reversal (TR) technique. TR can be viewed as a
precoding scheme which can be combined with OFDM/OQAM and easily carried out in
a Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) context such as Alamouti system. We
present the simulation results of the performance of OFDM/OQAM system in SISO
case compared with the conventional CP-OFDM system and the performance of the
combination Alamouti OFDM/OQAM with TR compared to Alamouti CP-OFDM. The
performance is derived by computing the Bit Error Rate (BER) as a function of
the transmit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
Precoded FIR and Redundant V-BLAST Systems for Frequency-Selective MIMO Channels
The vertical Bell labs layered space-time (V-BLAST) system is a multi-input multioutput (MIMO) system designed to achieve good multiplexing gain. In recent literature, a precoder, which exploits channel information, has been added in the V-BLAST transmitter. This precoder forces each symbol stream to have an identical mean square error (MSE). It can be viewed as an alternative to the bit-loading method. In this paper, this precoded V-BLAST system is extended to the case of frequency-selective MIMO channels. Both the FIR and redundant types of transceivers, which use cyclic-prefixing and zero-padding, are considered. A fast algorithm for computing a cyclic-prefixing-based precoded V-BLAST transceiver is developed. Experiments show that the proposed methods with redundancy have better performance than the SVD-based system with optimal powerloading and bit loading for frequency-selective MIMO channels. The gain comes from the fact that the MSE-equalizing precoder has better bit-error rate performance than the optimal bitloading method
