Optimum weighting-coefficient-pair in inter-carrier interference self-cancellation scheme of OFDM system

As one of the most important components of the wideband wireless access technique, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） has a high usage rate of spectrum and combats inter-symbol interference （ISI） in multi-path fading channel. However, when there are frequency offsets during the signal transmission, the inter-carrier interference （ICI） is introduced, which significantly degrades the performance. The existing ICI self-cancellation schemes such as PCC-OFDM are not optimum to minimize the interference considering both noise and ICI. In this paper, a new metric named S1NR （signal-to-interference- and-noise ratio） is proposed. We discuss the optimization issue when a constant frequency offset exists and in time-varying channels. The optimum weighting-coefficient-pair （OWCP） is obtained, which maximizes SINR theoretically through the alternant iteration algorithm. Simulations show that the performance of OWCP-OFDM is better than that of PCC-OFDM, especially when the frequency offset is large. Although the ICI self-cancellation scheme suffers bandwidth inefficiency, from the simulation results we can also see that the performance of OWCP-OFDM is much better than that of the standard OFDM systems with the same bandwidth efficiency when a frequency offset exists. Moreover, since the redundant modulation provides the capability to suppress ICI as well as a receiving SNR gain, it can be considered as exchanging the bandwidth for SNR.

A design scheme for interference suppression based on CWBIM

An interference suppression design scheme based on conjugate weighted butterfly interleaving mapping(CWBIM)is proposed for inter-carrier interference(ICI)and inter-subband interference(IBI)in the received signals of universal filtered multi-carrier(UFMC)systems.It applies an interleaving mapping operation to subtract the interference coefficients of adjacent terms in ICI and IBI twice,thereby achieving suppression effects similar to the self-cancellation(SC)algorithm while maintaining the original data transmission efficiency.Meanwhile,conjugate and complex weighting operations can effectively suppress the impact of phase rotation errors in high-speed mobile channel environments,thereby further improving the bit error rate(BFR)performance of the system,Moreover,butterfly operation can effectively control the computational complexity of the interleaving mapping process.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that,compared with the PSC-UFMC algorithm,the CWBIM-UFMC scheme proposed in this paper can effectively suppress ICI and IBI in the received signal without compromising data transmission efficiency and reducing computational complexity,thereby achieving good BER performance of the system.

A Novel Inter-Carrier Interference Cancellation Scheme in Highly Mobile Environments

In the current multi-carrier communications,Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM)is widely considered as a leading technology.For mobile applications,however,the orthogonality between subcarriers is deteriorated by Doppler frequency shift,which will introduce serious subcarrier phase rotation in the received signals and degrade the system performance.Thus,a method of differential grouping weighted symmetry data-conjugate(DWSCC)have been previously presented to obtain a better inter-carrier interference(ICI)suppressing effect and Bit Error Rate(BER)performance with no loss of spectral efficiency.In this paper,a novel scheme applying a completely different method of subcarrier interactive mapping is put forward.By mapping two different symbols which are both conjugated or multiplied by a complex weighting factor onto a pair of symmetric subcarriers,the presented scheme can greatly reduce the influence of subcarriers phase rotation caused by Doppler frequency shift in highly mobile environments.Analysis and simulation results indicate that comparing with the DWSCC method,our formulated scheme can not only maintain the spectrum utilization with no loss,but also have the advantages of an improvement on reduction effect and BER performance as well as a lower computational complexity in highly mobile environments.

Inter-carrier Interference Analysis for MIMO-OFDM Systems in High-Speed Train Environment

The orthogonality between the subcarriers of multipleinput multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing( MIMO-OFDM) systems is destroyed due to the Doppler frequency offset,particularly in the high-speed train( HST) environment,which leads to severe inter-carrier interference( ICI). Therefore,it is necessary to analyze the mechanism and influence factor of ICI in HST environment. In this paper, by using a non-stationary geometry-based stochastic model( GBSM) for MIMO HST channels, ICI is analyzed through investigating the channel coefficients and the carrier-to-interference power ratio( CIR). It is a fact that most of signal energy spreads on itself and its several neighborhood subcarriers. By investigating the amplitude of subcarriers, CIR is used to evaluate the ICI power level. The simulation results show that the biggest impact factor for the CIR is the multipath number L and the minimum impact factor K; when the train speed υR> 400 km / h,the normalized Doppler frequency offset ε > 0. 35,the CIR tends to zero,and the communication quality will be very poor at this condition. Finally,bit error rate( BER) is investigated by simulating a specific channel environment.

A method of ICI cancellation for OFDM with delay diversity

In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)system,the time variation of a wireless channel destroys orthogonality among the sub-carriers,and this induces inter-carriers interference(ICI)and degrades system performance severely in mobile environment.In this paper,a new method of ICI cancellation based on delay diversity(DD)was proposed,which provides a way to mitigate the negative effect from the time variation of the wireless paths,thus improve the system performance greatly.The new method was called time-domain selfinterference cancellation(TDSIC)algorithm,which is different from other existing methods,such as frequencydomain method.In a cyclically extended OFDM system,the fading characteristics of extended OFDM symbols with different cyclic delay are different with each other,so in our TDSIC method,a new diversity collection scheme at the receiver end is proposed,which can be used to improve the system performance by suppressing ICI through selecting appropriate parameters.Moreover,the cyclically extended OFDM symbol at the transmitter side and diversity collection with different delay added OFDM symbols at the receiver side are used in the TDSIC method with the tradeoff of time-expense,so the well-known fixed delay for symbol at the transmitter side may be detected by the receiver side through estimating several parameters of wireless channels.In summary,the key of the TDSIC method is to improve the system performance with the cost of time.Based on performance analysis,simulation has proved that TDSIC may effectively improve the performance of the time-variant wireless channel.

Phase noise approximation analysis for the OFDM system

The influence of phase noise（PN） present at the access point（AP） and mobile terminator（MT） may degrade the performance in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） system, because the OFDM system is sensitive to the PN. The method of PN approximation based on the PN power spectrum was proposed to combat the influence of the PN present. The idea of the PN cancellation is the PN is approximated for the sum of the different frequency between the AP and the MT as well as Doppler shift supposing that the fixed different frequency during several OFDM symbols are identical, so the variable phase may be considered as the combination of the fixed partition and the random partition. The approximation method is utilized to remove the fixed and the random phase partition so that the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） may be improved. The analysis and the simtilation proposed show that the method may effectively improve the performance of the OFDM system.
