高速移动Rayleigh信道下的相位调制OFDM系统

高速移动的Rayleigh信道会使得传输信号的频谱发生Doppler扩展。本文对存在Doppler扩展的OFDM系统进行子载波干扰的理论分析，并针对高速Rayleigh信道对误码率造成的影响进行了基带仿真。仿真结果证实，相位调制OFDM系统在存在Doppler扩展的Rayleigh信道条件下的性能可以用单载波相位调制系统在慢衰落条件下的误码率理论值来近似；即使在移动台高速移动的情况下，实际中的Doppler扩展并不会使相位调制OFDM系统的误码率出现地板效应，所以相位调制OFDM系统比较适合高速移动的Ravleigh信道条件下的高速数据传输。

5GHz无线局域网系统模拟

基于IEEE 802.11a标准的5GHz WLAN系统能在低移动性无线条件下提供比以前的系统更快的数据传输率、更好的频谱效率、改进的多径性能和更低的干扰。 为了在5GHz WLAN系统中支持高速率的数据传输,推荐采用多载波调制和正交频分多址（OFDM）。OFDM的基本原理是把高速率的数据流拆分成一些同时在若干子载波上传输的较低速率数据流,在并行子载波中用较低的数据率增加信号持续时间,从而降低多径造成的相对色散时间量（延迟扩散）。由于可在相继的OFDM信号间插入足够长的保护间距,因而几乎完全消除了信号间干扰（ISI）。 为了在WLAN系统中使用OFDM,必须保持精确的频率同步和信号同步。推荐的频率同步方法是依据检测和补偿,对于发信机和收信机之间的载波频率偏移可使用数据流中的前同步码,还可用信道估计模型检测和消除延迟扩散。 为了让用非线性元件设计的部件工作于多径信道条件的WLAN系统,必须使用适合的模拟软件。本文使用的是     

短波单边带信道有源RC时延和幅度均衡器设计

一前言在利用模拟通信信道传输数据信号时,由于传输信道有电抗元件和无线短波单边带收、发讯机的滤波器,从而引起信道幅度和相位失真,使波形发生畸变。这种畸变导致的码间干扰及相位误差在数据速率较高时更为严重,特别是随着传输距离和中间复接设备的增加,以及噪音的加强而严重地出现数据误码。这会大大影响通信质量,甚至会使通信中断。因此,在设计时采用均衡器便可消除码间干扰,减少幅度和相位失真,进而减少误码,提高数据传输的可靠性。

A multicarrier CDMA system with adaptive subchannel allocation forforward links

Multicarrier transmission schemes have been introduced into code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems to gain advantages for high data rate transmission. One of the methods is to transmit identical narrowband direct-sequence (DS) waveforms in parallel over a number of subchannels using frequency diversity. In this paper, we propose a multicarrier CDMA system with an adaptive subchannel allocation method for forward links. In the proposed system, instead of identical DS waveforms being transmitted over a number of subchannels in parallel, each user's DS waveform is transmitted over the user's favourite subchannel which has the largest fading amplitude among all the subchannels. We analyze the performance characteristics of the system when orthogonal and random signature sequences are used. The proposed system is shown to have performance gain over the conventional multicarrier CDMA system. We also investigate how the performance is influenced when the signal is not perfectly allocated into the best subchannel     

An OFDM-based wireless ATM transmission system assisted by acyclically extended PN sequence for future broad-band mobile multimediacommunications

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based wireless asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) transmission system is described that is suitable for the future broad-band mobile multimedia communications. In the proposed system, guard symbols, which are cyclically extended by repeating the information symbols, are inserted before and after serial-to-parallel converted wireless ATM data symbols for OFDM transmission. These symbols are used for both wireless ATM frame synchronization and deciding the discrete Fourier transformation (DFT) start point at the receiver. A cyclically extended pseudorandom noise (PN) sequence is inserted into some of the OFDM transmission subchannels at fixed intervals and used to estimate the phase rotation, frequency offset, and delay characteristics. The proposed system does not use "symbol-by-symbol" guard-interval insertion or removal circuits, as do conventional OFDM systems. With this system, it is easy to estimate the phase rotation, frequency offset, and delay characteristics and to synchronize wireless ATM cells. Computer simulation showed that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed system is better than that of a conventional "symbol-by-symbol" OFDM system     

The effect of timing jitter on the performance of a discretemultitone system

The transmission of high-speed data over severely band-limited channels may be accomplished through the use of discrete multitone (DMT) modulation, a modulation technique that has been proposed for a number of new applications. While the performance of a DMT system has been analyzed by a number of authors, these analyses ignore the effect of timing jitter on system performance. Timing jitter becomes an increasingly important concern as higher data rates are supported and larger constellations are allowed on the DMT subchannels. Hence, in this paper, we assume that synchronization is maintained by using a digital phase-locked loop to track a pilot carrier, Given this model, we derive error rate expressions for an uncoded DMT system operating in the presence of timing jitter, and we derive an expression for the interchannel distortion that results from a varying timing offset across the DMT symbol. In addition, we investigate the performance of trellis-coded DMT modulation in the presence of timing jitter. Practical examples from the asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) service are used to illustrate various results

Performance studies for high-speed indoor wireless communications

A major difficulty in achieving high-bit-rate wireless transmission is the large delay spread which severely limits the maximum data rate. In this paper, techniques are presented for overcoming these transmissionrate limits. Specifically, the performances of multicarrier modems and a single-carrier modem with equalization are characterized in terms of the efficiency (or achievable bit rate) versus outage, under a wide range of conditions and parameters.For the multicarrier approach, the extensive set of performance results indicate the following: for QPSK, in a typical office-building environment (rms delay spreads of 50–100 ns), if the subchannel symbol rate is limited to 1 Mbaud,and provided there is sufficient power, an efficiency of 1–1.2 b/s/Hz can be achieved with 99% availability (1% outage) with either the multitone or the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing realizations. With 16 subchannels this corresponds to at least 16 Mb/s. To achieve higher data rates (for example, 155 Mb/s), or where there are larger delay spreads (for example, in outdoor microcells), more subchannels can be used, if practical. Otherwise, equalization can be combined with wider subchannels and/or sophisticated antenna techniques.Link-budget calculations, also presented here, show how transmitted power can be a limiting factor in transmission bit rate. In particular, for 20 MHz of bandwidth and a frequency of 5 GHz or less, a transmitted power of 100 mW to 1 W should be sufficient to accommodate 30–50 m cells with good performance (for example, bit error probability of 10^–8 and 1% outage). However, for larger bandwidths (for example, 100–200 MHz), the frequency must be higher (for example, 20 GHz) and the distance will be severely limited, possibly to a single room.     

Performance Analysis of OFDM Repeater Networks with Spatial Fading Correlation

This paper analyzes the performance of the OFDM diversity systems with the spatial fading correlation when the network includes an RF repeater. In case of OFDM transmission, since the combining scheme is usually employed in the frequency domain, the correlation between different subchannels should be considered. In a multipath channel, correlation varies over subchannels depending on the channel delay profile and the spatial correlation between each individual delayed paths. In this study, a multipath channel is constructed by the repeated signal instead of natural multipath due to cluttered environments and the system performance with spatial correlation per subcarrier is evaluated. Previously, it is reported that the effect of correlation can be reduced by the Time Shifted Sampling (TSS) technique which relies on the multipath diversity. Numerical results indicate that the TSS technique is also effective in reducing the effect of correlation for the multipath channels constructed by the repeaters.     

Modified Frequency-Domain Equalization for Channel Shortening in Reduced-CP OFDMA Systems

In orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, the cyclic prefix (CP) length needs to be no less than the longest delay spread of the channels of many users, reducing bandwidth efficiency more significantly than in single-user orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. In this paper, we address OFDMA downlink data transmission when a short CP is used to mitigate the inefficient bandwidth usage. Previous time-domain equalizers (TEQs) can be used to shorten the channel; however, they tend to increase noise by introducing spectral nulls. A previous work on per-tone equalization (PTEQ) structure involves a multitap frequency-domain equalizer (FEQ) for each tone, and shows better performance than TEQ-based receiver structure. We propose a novel receiver structure with only one-tap FEQ for OFDMA systems with a reduced CP, exploiting the unused subchannels for a user. We formulate an optimization problem to set the FEQ coefficients at the unused subchannels such that the channel is shortened (approximation is involved) and noise is not enhanced at the used subchannels. With the aid of computer simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed equalization method is superior to the conventional TEQ-based receivers, and is comparable to the previous PTEQ-based receiver in terms of the achievable SNR, error performance, and bandwidth efficiency. Although the throughput curve versus synchronization delay of the PTEQ is smoother than that of the proposed receiver, the proposed method shows proper throughput over a wider range of the delay values than PTEQ receiver when the system parameters are set so that the complexities are comparable.     

Optimal designs for space-time linear precoders and decoders

We introduce a new paradigm for the design of transmitter space-time coding that we refer to as linear precoding. It leads to simple closed-form solutions for transmission over frequency-selective multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels, which are scalable with respect to the number of antennas, size of the coding block, and transmit average/peak power. The scheme operates as a block transmission system in which vectors of symbols are encoded and modulated through a linear mapping operating jointly in the space and time dimension. The specific designs target minimization of the symbol mean square error and the approximate maximization of the minimum distance between symbol hypotheses, under average and peak power constraints. The solutions are shown to convert the MIMO channel with memory into a set of parallel flat fading subchannels, regardless of the design criterion, while appropriate power/bits loading on the subchannels is the specific signature of the different designs. The proposed designs are compared in terms of various performance measures such as information rate, BER, and symbol mean square error     

Transmission of analog signals using multicarrier modulation: acombined source-channel coding approach

We have proposed and analyzed a combined source-channel coding scheme using multicarrier modulation. By changing the power and modulation of subchannels carrying different bits of the quantized signal, the channel-induced distortion can be minimized. We derive an algorithm for the allocation of power among subchannels. Analog sources quantized by scalar and vector quantizers are considered. For a Gaussian source scalar-quantized to 8 bit, multicarrier transmission yields a 13 dB improvement of signal-to-distortion ratio over a single-carrier system. Quantizers having a smaller number of bits yield smaller improvements. We consider both full-search and binary tree-search vector quantizers using a natural binary coding scheme. For a vector quantizer using 2 b/sample, multicarrier transmission yields an improvement in signal-to-distortion ratio that lies between 0.3 and 0.8 dB, depending on the quantizer design     

Linear constellation precoding for OFDM with maximum multipath diversity and coding gains

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) converts a frequency-selective fading channel into parallel flat-fading subchannels, thereby simplifying channel equalization and symbol decoding. However, OFDM's performance suffers from the loss of multipath diversity, and the inability to guarantee symbol detectability when channel s occur. We introduce a linear constellation precoded OFDM for wireless transmissions over frequency-selective fading channels. Exploiting the correlation structure of subchannels and choosing system parameters properly, we first perform an optimal subcarrier grouping to divide the set of subchannels into subsets. Within each subset, a linear constellation-specific precoder is then designed to maximize both diversity and coding gains. While greatly reducing the decoding complexity and simplifying the precoder design, subcarrier grouping enables the maximum possible diversity and coding gains. In addition to reduced complexity, the proposed system guarantees symbol detectability regardless of channel s, and does not reduce the transmission rate. Analytic evaluation and corroborating simulations reveal its performance merits.
