A Comparison of CP-OFDM, PCC-OFDM and UFMC for 5G Uplink Communications
Polynomial-cancellation-coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
(PCC-OFDM) is a form of OFDM that has waveforms which are very well localized
in both the time and frequency domains and so it is ideally suited for use in
the 5G network. This paper analyzes the performance of PCC-OFDM in the uplink
of a multiuser system using orthogonal frequency division multiple access
(OFDMA) and compares it with conventional cyclic prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM), and
universal filtered multicarrier (UFMC). PCC-OFDM is shown to be much less
sensitive than either CP-OFDM or UFMC to time and frequency offsets. For a
given constellation size, PCC-OFDM in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN)
requires 3dB lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for a given bit-error-rate, and
the SNR advantage of PCC-OFDM increases rapidly when there are timing and/or
frequency offsets. For PCC-OFDM no frequency guard band is required between
different OFDMA users. PCC-OFDM is completely compatible with CP-OFDM and adds
negligible complexity and latency, as it uses a simple mapping of data onto
pairs of subcarriers at the transmitter, and a simple weighting-and-adding of
pairs of subcarriers at the receiver. The weighting and adding step, which has
been omitted in some of the literature, is shown to contribute substantially to
the SNR advantage of PCC-OFDM. A disadvantage of PCC-OFDM (without overlapping)
is the potential reduction in spectral efficiency because subcarriers are
modulated in pairs, but this reduction is more than regained because no guard
band or cyclic prefix is required and because, for a given channel, larger
constellations can be used
Factor Graph Based Detection Schemes for Mobile Terrestrial DVB Systems with Long OFDM Blocks
This PhD dissertation analyzes the performance of second generation digital video broadcasting (DVB) systems in mobile terrestrial environments and proposes an iterative detection algorithm based on factor graphs (FG) to reduce the distortion caused by the time variation of the channel, providing error-free communication in very severe mobile conditions. The research work focuses on mobile scenarios where the intercarrier interference (ICI) is very high: high vehicular speeds when long orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) blocks are used.
As a starting point, we provide the theoretical background on the main topics behind the transmission and reception of terrestrial digital television signals in mobile environments, along with a general overview of the main signal processing techniques included in last generation terrestrial DVB systems. The proposed FG-based detector design is then assessed over a simpli ed bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM)-OFDM communication scheme for a wide variety of mobile environments. Extensive simulation results show the e ectiveness of the proposed belief propagation (BP) algorithm over the channels of interest in this research work. Moreover, assuming that low density parity-check (LDPC) codes are decoded by means of FG-based algorithms, a high-order FG is de ned in order to accomplish joint signal detection and decoding into the same FG framework, o ering a fully parallel structure very suitable when long OFDM blocks are employed.
Finally, the proposed algorithms are analyzed over the physical layer of DVB-T2 speci cation. Two reception schemes are proposed which exploit the frequency and time-diversity inherent in time-varying channels with the aim of achieving a reasonable trade-o among performance, complexity and latency.Doktoretza tesi honek bigarren belaunaldiko telebista digitalaren eraginkortasuna aztertzen du eskenatoki mugikorrean, eta faktoreen grafoetan oinarritzen den hartzaile iteratibo bat proposatzen du denboran aldakorra den kanalak sortzen duen distortsioa leundu eta seinalea errorerik gabe hartzea ahalbidetzen duena.

Se presentan dos esquemas de recepción que explotan la diversidad temporal y frecuencial presentes en la señal afectada por canales variantes en el tiempo, consiguiendo un compromiso razonable entre rendimiento, complejidad y latencia
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing modulation and inter-carrier interference cancellation
The Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique, wireless channel models, and a pair of new intercarrier interference self-cancellation methods are investigated in this thesis. The first chapter addresses the history of OFDM, along with its principles and applications. Chapter two consists of three parts: the principal, the modern OFDM models, and the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) problem. Chapter two also summarizes possible PAPR solutions. Chapter three discusses a series of well-known wireless channel models, as well as the general formula for wireless channels. In Chapter four, ICI problem has been discussed, along with its existing solutions. Chapter five focuses on two new ICI self-cancellation schemes, namely the clustering method and the multi-codebook method. These two new methods show promising results through the simulations. A summary of this thesis and the discussion of future research are also provided in Chapter five
EVALUATING A NEW SUBCARRIER MAPPING ICI-SC SCHEME USING LINEAR MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ALAMOUTI COMBINER (LMLAC) DECODING TECHNIQUE
This paper presents a new subcarrier mapping scheme ICI-SC technique that use Linear Maximum Likelihood Alamouti Combiner (LMLAC) as a decoding technique to mitigate intercarrier interference (ICI) problem with low complexity decoding system for space time frequency block codes (STFBC) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in the frequency selective environments. We provide details of the mathematical models of the proposed scheme and simulate its error performance caused by frequency offset (FO). We also analyze the impact of the STFBC of the system. The simulation results showed that the scheme has the ability to reduce ICI effectively with a low decoding complexity and maximum diversity in terms of bandwidth efficiency and also in the bit error rate (BER) performance especially at high signal to noise ratio
Numerical Simulation and Design of Low PAPR FBMC Communication System for 5G Applications
Unlike SC-FDMA (Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access), merging only DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) addition with FBMC-OQAM (filter group multi-carrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation) only cuts the marginal PAPR. (Peak-to-average power ratio). To take advantage of the single carrier effect of DFT extension, special conditions for the coefficients of the IQ (in-phase and quadrature phase) channels of every single subcarrier ought to be met. As a beginning point, we first originate this form, which we call the ITSM (Identical Time-Shifted Multi-Carrier) condition. Then, depending on this condition, we put forward a new FBMC for low PAPR. The foremost features of the offered way out are summarized as: First, to additionally raise the PAPR reduction, we created four candidate versions of the FBMC waveform for DFT spreading out and ITSM conditions and carefully chosen one with the least peak power. Even with various candidate generations, unlike the traditional SI (Side information) based PAPR reduction scheme, the focal computational fragments (such as DFT and IDFT) are shared and need only be executed one time. Therefore, matched to the prior DFT-expanded FBMC, the overhead in complexity is small, and the recommended pattern can realize a PAPR reduction comparable to SC-FDMA. Second, in the projected pattern each one pass on only two bits of SI from a block of FBMC-OQAM symbols. And so, the SI overhead is meaningfully lesser than a conventional SI-based scheme such as SLM (Selective Mapping) or PTS (Partial Transmission Sequence).The whole work is executed using MATLAB software. The PAPR of FBMC system has been significantly reduced after the application of proposed algorithm. PAPR was reduced by 25 % after the use of DFT spreading and ITSM conditioning
Intersymbol and Intercarrier Interference in OFDM Systems: Unified Formulation and Analysis
A unified matrix formulation is presented for the analysis of intersymbol and
intercarrier interference in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)
systems. The proposed formulation relies on six parameters and allows studying
various schemes, including those with windowing in the transmitter and/or in
the receiver (called windowed OFDM systems), which may add cyclic suffix and/or
cyclic prefix (CP), besides the conventional CP-OFDM. The proposed framework
encompasses seven different OFDM systems. It considers the overlap-and-add
procedure performed in the transmitter of windowed OFDM systems, being jointly
formulated with the channel convolution. The intersymbol and intercarrier
interference, caused when the order of the channel impulse response is higher
than the number of CP samples, is characterized. A new equivalent channel
matrix that is useful for calculating both the received signal and the
interference power is defined and characterized. Unlike previous works, this
new channel matrix has no restrictions on the length of the channel impulse
response, which means that the study is not constrained to the particular case
of two or three data blocks interfering in the received signal. Theoretical
expressions for the powers of three different kinds of interference are
derived. These expressions allow calculating the
signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, useful for computing the data rate of
each OFDM system. The proposed formulation is applied to realistic examples,
showing its effectiveness through comparisons based on numerical performance
assessments of the considered OFDM systems
An Efficient ICI Cancellation Scheme to Mitigate the Effect of ICI on OFDM Systems
Inter-carrier interference (ICI) emerges in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems used for mobile communication as a consequence of the Doppler Effect\u27s loss of orthogonality among subcarriers. Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI), which affects every subcarrier, drastically lowers performance. The performance of OFDM systems may be enhanced using a variety of ICI mitigation strategies. Comparable subcarrier frequency offsets are guaranteed by the premise that the OFDM transmission bandwidth is suitably modest in the majority of ICI mitigation strategies, on the other hand. The frequency offsets between each subcarrier might change, hence a wideband OFDM system in a situation with high mobility is investigated. Furthermore, the suggested ICI cancellation approach, Total ICI Cancellation, does not reduce bandwidth efficiency or transmission rate. As an example, the Total ICI Cancellation approach uses the ICI matrix\u27s orthogonality to provide perfect ICI cancellation and a significant boost in BER at a linearly increasing cost. The suggested technique, which matches the BER performance of a wideband OFDM system without ICI, offers the best BER performance possible in the presence of frequency offset and time shifts in the channel, according to simulation findings in the AWGN and multipath fading channels
