Modeling of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for Transmission in Broadband Wireless Communications
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a multi carrier modulation technique that provides high bandwidth efficiency because the carriers are orthogonal to each other and multiple carriers share the data among themselves. The main advantage of this transmission technique is its robustness to channel fading in wireless communication environment. This paper investigates the effectiveness of OFDM and assesses its suitability as a modulation technique in wireless communications. Several of the main factors affecting the performance of a typical OFDM system are considered and they include multipath delay spread, channel noise, distortion (clipping), and timing requirements. The core processing block and performance analysis of the system is modeled usingMatlab
A survey on OFDM-based elastic core optical networking
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation technology that has been widely adopted in many new and emerging broadband wireless and wireline communication systems. Due to its capability to transmit a high-speed data stream using multiple spectral-overlapped lower-speed subcarriers, OFDM technology offers superior advantages of high spectrum efficiency, robustness against inter-carrier and inter-symbol interference, adaptability to server channel conditions, etc. In recent years, there have been intensive studies on optical OFDM (O-OFDM) transmission technologies, and it is considered a promising technology for future ultra-high-speed optical transmission. Based on O-OFDM technology, a novel elastic optical network architecture with immense flexibility and scalability in spectrum allocation and data rate accommodation could be built to support diverse services and the rapid growth of Internet traffic in the future. In this paper, we present a comprehensive survey on OFDM-based elastic optical network technologies, including basic principles of OFDM, O-OFDM technologies, the architectures of OFDM-based elastic core optical networks, and related key enabling technologies. The main advantages and issues of OFDM-based elastic core optical networks that are under research are also discussed
Efficient Fast-Convolution-Based Waveform Processing for 5G Physical Layer
This paper investigates the application of fast-convolution (FC) filtering
schemes for flexible and effective waveform generation and processing in the
fifth generation (5G) systems. FC-based filtering is presented as a generic
multimode waveform processing engine while, following the progress of 5G new
radio standardization in the Third-Generation Partnership Project, the main
focus is on efficient generation and processing of subband-filtered cyclic
prefix orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (CP-OFDM) signals. First, a
matrix model for analyzing FC filter processing responses is presented and used
for designing optimized multiplexing of filtered groups of CP-OFDM physical
resource blocks (PRBs) in a spectrally well-localized manner, i.e., with narrow
guardbands. Subband filtering is able to suppress interference leakage between
adjacent subbands, thus supporting independent waveform parametrization and
different numerologies for different groups of PRBs, as well as asynchronous
multiuser operation in uplink. These are central ingredients in the 5G waveform
developments, particularly at sub-6-GHz bands. The FC filter optimization
criterion is passband error vector magnitude minimization subject to a given
subband band-limitation constraint. Optimized designs with different guardband
widths, PRB group sizes, and essential design parameters are compared in terms
of interference levels and implementation complexity. Finally, extensive coded
5G radio link simulation results are presented to compare the proposed approach
with other subband-filtered CP-OFDM schemes and time-domain windowing methods,
considering cases with different numerologies or asynchronous transmissions in
adjacent subbands. Also the feasibility of using independent transmitter and
receiver processing for CP-OFDM spectrum control is demonstrated
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
