Discrete-Time Ping-pong Optimized Pulse Shaping-OFDM (POPS-OFDM) Operating on Time and Frequency Dispersive Channels for 5G Systems
The Fourth Generation (4G) of mobile communication systems was optimized to
offer high data rates with high terminal mobility by ensuring strict
synchronism and perfect orthogonality. However, the trend for novel
applications, that had not been feasible a few years back, reveals major limits
of this strict synchronism and imposes new challenges and severe requirements.
But, coarse synchronization can dramatically damage the waveforms orthogonality
in the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signals, which results
in oppressive Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) and Inter-Symbol Interference
(ISI). As a consequence, the use of non-orthogonal waveforms becomes further
essential in order to meet the upcoming requirements. In this context, we
propose here a novel waveform construction, referred to Ping-pong Optimized
Pulse Shaping-OFDM (POPS-OFDM), which is believed to be an attractive candidate
for the optimization of the radio interface of next 5G mobile communication
systems. Through a maximization of the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio
(SINR), this approach allows optimal and straightforward waveform design for
multicarrier systems at the Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) sides. In this
paper, we analyze several characteristics of the proposed waveforms and shed
light on relevant features, which make it a powerful candidate for the design
of 5G system radio interface waveforms
Near Capacity Signaling over Fading Channels using Coherent Turbo Coded OFDM and Massive MIMO
The minimum average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) per bit required for
error-free transmission over a fading channel is derived, and is shown to be
equal to that of the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, which is
dB. Discrete-time algorithms are presented for timing and carrier
synchronization, as well as channel estimation, for turbo coded multiple input
multiple output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM)
systems. Simulation results show that it is possible to achieve a bit error
rate of at an average SNR per bit of 5.5 dB, using two transmit and
two receive antennas. We then propose a near-capacity signaling method in which
each transmit antenna uses a different carrier frequency. Using the
near-capacity approach, we show that it is possible to achieve a BER of
at an average SNR per bit of just 2.5 dB, with one receive
antenna for each transmit antenna. When the number of receive antennas for each
transmit antenna is increased to 128, then a BER of is
attained at an average SNR per bit of 1.25 dB. In all cases, the number of
transmit antennas is two and the spectral efficiency is 1 bit/transmission or 1
bit/sec/Hz. In other words, each transmit antenna sends 0.5 bit/transmission.
It is possible to obtain higher spectral efficiency by increasing the number of
transmit antennas, with no loss in BER performance, as long as each transmit
antenna uses a different carrier frequency. The transmitted signal spectrum for
the near-capacity approach can be restricted by pulse-shaping. In all the
simulations, a four-state turbo code is used. The corresponding turbo decoder
uses eight iterations. The algorithms can be implemented on programmable
hardware and there is a large scope for parallel processing.Comment: 16 pages, 12 figures, 5 tables, journa
