OFDM系统中降峰均比研究及PTS改进算法

正交频分复用（OFDM）技术在解决无线移动通信系统中显示了许多特点,如抗多路径衰落和频际间的干扰等。然而,OFDM系统中一个最主要的瓶颈在于OFDM信号的峰均功率比（PAPR,Peak-to-Average Power Ratio）很大,因而容易导致OFDM信号的交调失真和系统性能的下降。如何有效地解决OFDM系统中的峰均功率比是亟待解决的问题。为此,提出一种新的PTS（部分传输序列）改进算法。

Analytical performance evaluation of the OFDM systems in the presence of jointly fifth order nonlinearity and phase noise

This paper presents an exact theoretical analysis of the performance degradation in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system when the signal including phase noise is passed through a nonlinear circuit such as high power amplifier (HPA). This circuit is modeled as a fifth order memory-less nonlinear polynomial model (5th order MLNPM). The nonlinear model is derived from important electrical parameters such as gain, 1-dB compression and 3rd order intercept point. Theoretical analysis shows that the detected data symbol at the receiver consists of attenuated version of the original transmitted data symbol, common phase error (CPE), inter-sub-carrier interference (ICI), third and fifth order intermodulation (IM) components. The analytical expressions for intermodulation noise term are derived using combinatorial methods. By use of the derived expressions, a closed-form output signal to noise ratio (SNR), degradation factor (DF) and probability of error can be evaluated theoretically. For verifying the accuracy of our analysis, comparisons between the theoretical and simulated results with electrical parameter of an actual and applicable HPA are presented. The comparisons show that bit error rate (BER) of analytical results is closely match with simulation results for OFDM system using M-QAM modulation.

Iterative receiver employing phase noise compensation and channel estimation for millimeter-wave OFDM systems

This paper proposes an iterative OFDM millimeterwave receiver employing low-complexity decision-directed phase noise compensation (DD-PNC) to alleviate degradation due to the phase noise. High bit-rate OFDM transceivers based on the single-chip Si RF-CMOS IC technology in the 60-GHz millimeter-wave band have been extensively studied for wireless personal area network (WPAN) systems, and the relatively large phase noise in the phase locked loop (PLL) synthesizer severely degrades transmission performance. The proposed OFDM receiver iterates DD-PNC and decision-directed channel estimation (DDCE) by exploiting the output of the channel decoder. DDPNC estimates the phase noise each sampling time by using the decoder output, and then it removes the estimate from a time-domain received signal. In addition, DDCE estimates a channel impulse response by using the compensated received signal. Computer simulations demonstrate that in the 64QAM modulation with the coding rate of 3/4, the proposed receiver with DD-PNC and DDCE can perfectly remove the phase noise of -85 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset, and that it can alleviate the degradation of the channel estimation due to the phase noise.     

Differential modulation techniques for a 34 MBit/s radio channel using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing

The orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique has been proposed for terrestrial digital transmission systems due to its high spectral efficiency, its robustness in different multipath propagation environments and the ability of avoiding intersymbol interference (ISI). Our studies consider a radio channel bandwidth of 8 MHz and a data rate of 34 Mbit/s.In the case of the OFDM transmission system a coherent 64-QAM requires a channel estimation process and a channel equalization in frequency-selective interference situations [4]. The equalization process can be realized by a multiplier bank at the FFT output in the receiver, a so-called frequency-domain equalizer. Alternatively, a multilevel differential modulation technique, the so-called differential amplitude and phase shift keying (64-DAPSK) considering the phase and simultaneously the amplitude for differential modulation, is proposed and presented in this paper. Differential modulation/demodulation techniques do not require any explicit knowledge about the radio channel properties in the differential channel equalization. It is therefore not necessary to implement a frequency-domain equalizer in an OFDM/64-DAPSK receiver, which reduces the computation complexity. The performance of both modulation techniques has been analysed in the uncoded and coded case referring to Gaussian and frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation results are presented in this paper.The OFDM signal has a non-constant envelope with large instantaneous power spikes possible primarily resulting in an overdriving of the high power amplifier (HPA) at the transmitter. This leads to nonlinear distortion causing intermodulation noise and spectral spreading. Both effects can be limited by introducing an appropriate input backoff (IBO). In this paper the performance of OFDM signals in the presence of nonlinearities is analysed quantitatively.     

降低OFDM系统中PAPR的次优化PTS算法

正交频分复用(OFDM)系统的主要缺点是峰均功率比(PAPR)增大会严重地降低了发射机中高功率放大器(HPA)的效率.部分传输序列(PTS)算法能有效地降低OFDM信号的PAPR概率,但随着PTS中分割子块的增多也带来了高的计算复杂度.为此,文中提出一种新的PTS算法,该算法比传统的穷尽搜寻法具有更佳的性能.仿真结果表明,文中所提PTS算法在降低PAPR相似的情况下,具有更小的计算复杂度.     

OFDM系统中基于压缩感知恢复由限幅和HPA产生的非线性失真研究

正交频分复用（Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM）系统的主要缺点之一就是有较高的峰均功率比（Peak to Average Power Ratio,PAPR）,降低了功率放大器（High Power Amplifier,HPA）的工作效率,同时HPA引入的非线性失真,恶化了系统的误比特率（Bite Error Rate,BER）性能.本文所提算法将限幅和HPA引入的非线性失真视为一个整体来考虑,利用与限幅噪声在时域上的近似稀疏性,对整个非线性过程进行建模.发送端通过限幅降低了OFDM信号的PAPR,在接收端,选取受噪声干扰小的可靠性观测向量,最小化信道噪声的影响,基于非线性模型计算得到的参数,利用压缩感知（Compressive Sensing,CS）算法能有效地恢复总的非线性失真信号,提升了系统的BER性能.     

Performance of SDM/COFDM system in the presence of nonlinear power amplifier

The performance of Space Division Multiplexing/ Companded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (SDM/COFDM) system will be evaluated in the presence of nonlinear amplifier. The evaluation comes from decreasing high dynamic range that is resulted from characteristics of OFDM and nonlinearity of power amplifier. The high dynamic range means high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). The reduction of dynamic range or PAPR is made by using a compander in this system, which is effective that is because of Gaussian distribution of OFDM signal where large OFDM signal only occurs infrequently. System simulation models are employed using Rapp??s nonlinear power amplification model. The simulation results show that the compander can provide better performance in comparison to a system that does not employ the compander, i.e., SDM/OFDM system. The effect of main parameter for the compander will be studied. Comparisons between the performances of our system and SDM/OFDM system that is used clipping technique for reduction of PAPR will be made. All these results are made at different modulation techniques and different sub-carriers     

Corona Based Optimal Node Deployment Distribution in Wireless Sensor Networks

This paper shows the trade off between different modulation techniques such as multi level quadrature amplitude modulation, multi level phase shift keying, and multi level differential phase shift keying for upgrading direct detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems with possible transmission distance up to 15,000 km and total bit rate of 2.56 Tb/s. The 2.56 Tb/s signal is generated by multiplexing 64 OFDM signals with 40 Gb/s for each OFDM. Variations of optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR), signal to noise ratio (SNR), and bit error rate (BER) are studied with the variations of transmission distance. Maximum radio frequency power spectrum, and output electrical power after decoder are measured for different multi level modulation techniques with carrier frequency. It is observed that multi level QAM has presented better performance than multi level PSK and finally multi level DPSK in optical OFDM systems. Maximum output power after decoder is enhanced with both 32-PSK, and 64-QAM. Quadrature signal amplitude level at encoder is upgraded with 64-QAM. It is noticed that OSNR, SNR, and BER are improved using 4-QAM OFDM system than either QPSK or 4-DPSK.     

OFDM performance in amplifier nonlinearity

The activities of the current European RACE and ACTS projects have led to an increasing interest in OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) as a means of combating impulsive noise and multipath effects and making fuller use of the available bandwidth of the system. This paper analyses the performance of OFDM signals in amplifier nonlinearity. In particular, bit error rate (BER) degradation as a result of amplitude limiting or clipping are analysed. In the presence of both nonlinear distortion and additive Gaussian noise, optimized output power back off is provided to balance the requirements of minimum BER and power amplifier efficiency. For this purpose, an OFDM system has been built using the SPW (Signal Processing Worksystem) simulator     

Performance Evaluation of Different PSK Schemes in an OFDM System Using a Real Time Image

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a multicarrier modulation scheme that combines a large number of low data rate carriers into a composite high data communication system. Unlike in many other modulation techniques, the addition of cyclic prefix to the OFDM symbols combats the intersymbol interference and the orthogonality of the carriers allows it to combat Intercarrier interference in the OFDM modulation technique. Acknowledging these advantages, OFDM is the most preferred modulation technique in most of the next-generation wireless communication networks for transmitting many forms of digital data with higher efficiency. To evaluate the functionality and overall performance of an OFDM system, a digital data corresponding to a two-dimensional gray-scale image is used as a test signal. This paper aims at evaluating the performance of various phase shift keying (PSK) techniques taking a real time image as a test sample, which is converted into a form suitable for OFDM transmission, then transmitting the converted OFDM signal over the additive white Gaussian noise channel over various signal to noise ratio values. The performance is evaluated by comparing the clarity of the received image after demodulation with the original image, bit error rate (BER) Vs SNR, transmission and reception times of various PSK schemes (BPSK, QPSK,16-PSK and 256-PSK). The BER offered by BPSK is the least while transmission times offered by 256-PSK is the least. Along with these, different PSK schemes are compared by changing the clipping amplitude that is done to combat nonlinearities due to high peak to average power ratio.

     

Impact of amplifier nonlinearities on OFDM transmission systemperformance

The power spectral density of an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signal after a saturated high-power amplifier (HPA) is analytically derived. The distortion of the HPA-processed OFDM signal is defined, and its power spectrum is computed. The spectra of the signal and of the distortion are used to get an accurate estimate of the bit-error rate of an OFDM transmission system and to derive compensation at the receiver, which leads to performance improvement     

Low Complexity Partial Transmit Sequence with Complex Gain Memory Predistortion in OFDM Systems

In this paper the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction and digital predistortion effects in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are investigated. By applying a predistortion technique called complex gain memory predistortion (CGMP), power amplifier works at higher power efficiency. The proposed enhanced partial transmit sequence scheme is applied for PAPR reduction and integration with CGMP technique results in increasing in OFDM system efficiency and prolonged battery life. Simulation and results are examined with actual power amplifier and OFDM signal with quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation.     

OFDM systems in the presence of phase noise: consequences and solutions

We provide an exact analysis of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) performance in the presence of phase noise. Unlike most methods which assume small phase noise, we examine the general case for any phase noise levels. After deriving a closed-form expression for the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR), we exhibit the effects of phase noise by precisely expressing the OFDM system performance as a function of its critical parameters. This helps in understanding the meaning of small phase noise and how it reflects on the proper parameters selection of a specific OFDM system. In order to combat phase noise, we also provide in this paper a general phase-noise suppression scheme, which, by analytical and numerical results, proves to be quite effective in practice.     

An Improved ICI Reduction Method in OFDM Communication System

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising technique for the broadband wireless communication system. However, the inter-sub-carrier-interference (ICI) produced by the phase noise of transceiver local oscillator is a serious problem. Bit error rate (BER) performance is degraded because the orthogonal properties between the sub-carriers are broken down. In this paper, ICI self-cancellation of data-conjugate method is studied to reduce ICI effectively. CPE (common phase error), ICI and CIR (carrier to interference power ratio) are derived and discussed by the linear approximation of the phase noise. Then, the system performance of the data-conjugate method is compared with those of the original OFDM and the conventional data-conversion method. As results, it can be shown that CPE becomes zero in the OFDM of the data-conjugate method. Besides, in the OFDM system with phase noise, the data-conjugate method can make remarkable improvement of the BER performance and it is better than the data-conversion method and the original OFDM with or without convolution coding.     

Performance of diversity schemes for OFDM systems with frequency offset, phase noise, and channel estimation errors

We provide expressions for the bit error rate of various transmit and receive diversity schemes for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of frequency offset, phase noise, and channel estimation errors. The derivations are also applicable for a general multiplicative distortion of the received signal. Our results show that with perfect channel estimates, practical values of the phase noise do not significantly degrade the performance of the various diversity methods for binary phase-shift keying modulation. In contrast, the transmit diversity schemes for OFDM are much more sensitive to channel estimation errors than maximal ratio combining receive diversity.
