Time-frequency 2-D LMS based long-range channel prediction for wireless OFDM systems

Adaptive modulation can optimize the spectrum efficiency and system performance with the channel state information achieved by the long-range channel prediction.To avoid re-estimating channel correlation function as the channel statioharity varies and to track the channel adaptively, LMS (Least-Mean-Square) based long-range channel prediction is discussed in the existing literature, but it needs long observation interval to reach the convergence.Given that all OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) subcarriers have the identical time-domain correlation and sta- tionarity during the same time interval,this paper proposed a 2-D LMS based predictor which updates the filter weights in both time and frequency domain.The proposed scheme can effectively decrease the observation intervals and significantly speed up the convergence than the conventional LMS and Parallel LMS (PLMS).Complexity analysis and simulation results prove that the proposed scheme can improve the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance and spectrum efficiency with negligible complexity increase.     

An effective suboptimal power loading scheme in OFDM-based cognitive radio systems

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an attractive modulation candidate for Cognitive Radio (CR) networks. Effective and reliable subcarrier power allocation in OFDM-based Cognitive Radio (CR) networks is a challenging problem. This paper focuses on the power allocation for OFDM-based Cognitive Radio (CR) networks. Our objective is to maximize the total transmission rates of Secondary Users (SU) by adjusting the power of subcarrier while the interference introduced to the Primary User (PU) is within a certain range and the total power of subcarrier is not beyond the total power constraint. We investigate the optimal power allocation algorithm for OFDM-based Cognitive Radio (CR) based on convex optimization theory. Then, because of high complexity of the optimal power allocation algorithm, we propose an effective suboptimal power loading scheme. Theory analysis and simulation results show that the performance of the suboptimal power allocation algorithm is close to the performance of the optimal power allocation algorithm, while the complexity of the suboptimal power allocation algorithm is much lower.

The simulations have been performed to investigate the performance for tracking PHN and estimating CPE, the results show that the algorithm performs soundly.     

Power allocation and adaptive modulation strategy for MIMO-OFDM systems with imperfect CSI

The presented scheme named M-CAP （Maximum CAPacity） uses the CSI （Channel State Information） and its statistics to deduce an equivalent channel according to which the transmit power is allocated to the subchannels. And then modulation scheme is determined adaptively according to the power allocated to each subchannel. The advantage of the M-CAP scheme is that it combines power allocation and adaptive modulation while maintaining a large capacity. We demonstrate by computer simulations that the proposed M-CAP scheme can significantly improve system performance compared with the traditional schemes.     

A frequency offset estimation algorithm for OFDM systems

A new fine carrier frequency offset estimation algorithm in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） system is proposed. The correlation item is the training sequence instead of the received signal in the new algorithm. Simulation results show that the performance of the new algorithm is 4dB-9dB better than that of Schmidl＇s algorithm. Coarse frequency offset estimation is also discussed in this paper, which is the improvement of Zhang＇s method. The estimation range using the improvement method is twice as that using the Zhang＇s method. Based on the hardware of the receiver and the improved algorithm, a method using Fast Fourier Transform （FFT） is proposed to implement the coarse frequency estimation. The chip area of OFDM system can be reduced by using the proposed method.

Block adaptive subcarrier allocation for wireless multiuser OFDM system

In this paper, a blockwise adaptive subcarrier allocation algorithm for multiuser Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system is introduced. Assuming the knowledge of channel information for all users, the algorithm minimizes the total transmit power while satisfying the total power and users‘ rate constraints. The result of simulation shows that the proposed algorithm reduces the average bit Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) by approximately 4 dB compared with OFDM-Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDM-FDMA), and supports more users in a multiuser Rayleigh fading channel. As assigning subcarriers in block, the computational complexity of the algorithm is much lower than that of the derivation of “water-filling” algorithm.     

Propagator based closed-form blind carrier frequency offset estimation for OFDM systems

Most of the blind Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） Carrier Frequency Offset （CFO） estimators necessitate large number of samples to ensure the estimation accuracy. However, the number of samples can not be selected too large because of the carrier offset drift. In this letter, a new closed form algorithm for blind OFDM CFO estimation in frequency-selective channel is proposed. This method utilizes the propagator obtained from data matrix and the diagonal loading technique, thus it has better performance even only using one or two OFDM blocks. Furthermore, the range of the CFO estimation which can be handled is overall transmission spectral. Simulation results confirm its effectiveness.     

A novel estimation method of timing offset for OFDM based WLAN systems

The conventional timing synchronization methods based on time domain correlation have the problems of timing metric plateau in Additive White Gaussian Noise(AWGN) channel and estimation error in multipath fading channel. To resolve the problems, this paper proposes a novel timing metric using the characteristics of long training symbols in IEEE802.11a and a new timing recovery method based on the new timing metric for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM)-based WLAN systems. The proposed timing metric is defined as a sum of absolute values of the imaginary parts of all the subcarrier samples. It exhibits a unique characteristic that is very sensitive to the true synchronization point since it has minimum value at the true synchronization point and maximum around the true synchronization point. The simulation results show that the performance of timing synchronization is significantly improved, as a result, the probability of error estimation is lower than 10^-4 when Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR) is more than 10dB.     

Robust and fast frequency offset estimation for OFDM based satellite communication

A pilot-aided Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) frequency offset estimator designed for satellite communication system is proposed in the paper.

Making full use of the phase difference between received pilot and local referential pilot, a fast estimation is obtained. Compared with existing method, our method can also work well even in SNR as low as 0dB. Simulations verify the good performance of our method.

Statistical approximation based fine frequency synchronization for OFDM systems

The paper proposes a novel approach for fine frequency synchronization of OFDM syn- chronization systems in multi-path channels. Maximum Likelihood (ML) function of frequency offsets including integral and decimal parts in frequency domain is developed according to the law of great number to eliminate the noise impact of the signal. When the timing delay close to the actual time, the proposed function produces a deep valley indicating frequency offset when large Valley-Square- Error (VSE) appears. Coarse timing offset can also be detected when function’s Valley-Square-Error (VSE) is maximized. Simulation results shows that the proposed algorithm gives very robust estimation of frequency offset, and a coarse timing offset estimation.

A NOVEL INTEGER FREQUENCY OFFSET ESTIMATOR FOR OFDM

One of the principal disadvantages of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing （OFDM） is very sensitive to carrier frequency offset. The integer frequency offset has no effect on the orthogonality among the subcarriers, but it causes a circular shift and phase rotation of the received data symbols sequence, resulting in a Bit Error Rate（BER） of 0.5. In this paper, a novel integer frequency offset estimator for OFDM is derived based on maximum likelihood estimation technique and exploration of the differential relation between two consecutive OFDM data symbol sequences in frequency domain. Its performance is compared with the conventional method by computer simulations for the additive white Gaussian noise channel and a multipath fading channel. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed estimator is better than the conventional estimator.
