This paper describes a Doppler compensation algorithm to improve the reliability of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). To compensate for the time-varying Doppler effect in a mobile deployment scenario, first the time-scaling factor over a wideband channel is estimated using pilot tones inserted in each OFDM symbol. Then, using a time-varying resampling technique, the Doppler effect is compensated during the reception of each OFDM symbol in the frame. To predict the performance of the system in relatively shallow waters, a software channel model is developed that is able to simulate a wide variety of dynamic shallow water deployment scenario. The performance of the algorithm was tested for two extreme frequency ranges during sea trials, the first at 2 kHz for a long-range application, and the second at 125 kHz for a short range telemetry link. For the 2-kHz system, a 16-bps mobile link in which the platform was moving at 1 m/s was demonstrated to have a bit error rate on the order of 10 − 3 , while, for the 125-kHz telemetry application, a 2000-bps link was enabled with a bit error rate of 0.03 at a low SNR equal to 5.5 dB.

Instability of the local oscillator causes phase noise – a phenomenon that is a disadvantage and is considered to be a major obstacle in the functioning of coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. An attempt has been made in this paper to reduce the effects of common phase errors generated by phase noise. In this paper, a least mean square (LMS) based algorithm is proposed for estimation of phase noise. Using this proposed algorithm, the major problem of phase ambiguity caused by cycle slip is avoided and the bit error rate is greatly improved. Further, there is no requirement for modifying the frame structure of OFDM using this algorithm. A CO-OFDM system with the 8-PSK technique is used to implement the algorithm concerned. Furthermore, the algorithm, using the 8-PSK modulation technique, is analyzed and compared with the existing QPSK technique and with other algorithms. The investigations reveal that 8-PSK outperforms existing LMS algorithms using other techniques and significantly reduces the bit error rate.

Combined with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), satellite mobile communications will effectively achieve on-demand communication in areas with an ultra-low density of users. With OFDM multiple access optimization, the bandwidth utilization efficiency can be increased by 5 to 10 times. However, satellites are power-constrained systems, so higher PAPR requires greater power backoff, resulting in a decline in satellite transmission capacity. To use OFDM technology in satellites, there are problems such as reduced transmission capacity resulted from high PAPR, complication of lowering PAPR, and difficulty in hardware implementation. In order to deal with the problem of high bit error rate and hardware implementation difficulties in PAPR reduction technique of non-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, this paper proposes a limiting PAPR reduction technique with OFDM pilot filter banks for satellite mobile communications. Firstly, the applicability of OFDM in satellite mobile communications is analyzed, and the influence of high PAPR on satellite power utilization and the influence of frequency shift sensitivity on inter-satellite communication interference are obtained. Then design the PAPR reduction technique based on the pilot filter bank. By setting the tunable filter bank to the pilot, the sideband power suppression in the OFDM frequency domain is realized, and the PAPR of the OFDM signal is reduced. Finally, the experimental results show that the PAPR performance is improved by 3dB without reducing the bit error rate.

Abstract. With the purpose of supplying the demand of faster and more reliable communication, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems in conjunction with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) are subject of extensive research. Successful Decoding requires an accurate channel estimate at the receiver, which is gained either by evaluation of reference symbols which requires designated resources in the transmit signal or decision-directed approaches. The latter offers a convenient way to maximize bandwidth efficiency, but it suffers from error propagation due to the dependency between the decoding of the current data symbol and the calculation of the next channel estimate. In our contribution we consider linear smoothing techniques to mitigate error propagation by the introduction of backward dependencies in the decision-based channel estimation. Designed as a post-processing step, frame repeat requests can be lowered by applying this technique if the data is insensitive to latency. The problem of high memory requirements of FIR smoothing in the context of MIMO-OFDM is addressed with an recursive approach that acquires minimal resources with virtual no performance loss. Channel estimate normalized mean square error and bit error rate (BER) performance evaluations are presented. For reference, a median filtering technique is presented that operates on the MIMO time-frequency grids of channel coefficients to reduce the peak-like outliers produced by wrong decisions due to unsuccessful decoding. Performance in terms of Bit Error Rate is compared to the proposed smoothing techniques.

Free Space Optical (FSO) link using gamma-gamma channel model has been studied in this paper. Comparison of the probability density function of gamma-gamma distribution under weak and strong turbulence regime has been performed. Performance of Bit error rate (BER) using different subcarrier-intensity modulation (SIM) schemes such as binary phase shift keying (BPSK), M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) have been also investigated. Using MATLAB software, the BER is plotted with respect to normalized signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the link distance. All the analysis has been done using the Gamma-Gamma distribution model. In this work we found that the effectiveness of each modulation technique depends on the environment.

Метод непосредственной модуляции с использованием комплексных сигналов применяется при реализации сигнальных трактов передатчиков в базовых станциях систем сотовой связи. В процессе модуляции возникают рассогласования коэффициента усиления и фазы квадратурных составляющих сигнала. Рассогласование ухудшает модуль вектора ошибки (Error Vector Magnitude, EVM) в приемнике, что, в свою очередь, приводит к повышению частоты появления ошибочных битов (Bit Error Rate, BER). Качество принимаемого сигнала выражается в частоте появления битовых ошибок. Рассогласование амплитуды и фазы квадратурных составляющих является одним из важнейших факторов, вносящих наибольший вклад в амплитуду вектора ошибки, который необходимо исследовать.В статье приведено исследование влияния рассогласования квадратурных составляющих сигналов технологий OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) и UFMC (universal filtered multi-carrier). Разработана модель передатчика, канала связи и приемника для сигналов OFDM и UFMC. Модель построена в програм­мной среде MatLab при помощи языка MatLab и представляет собой программную модель m-script.В ходе работы путем исследования имитационной модели изучена зависимость помехоустойчивости технологий путем изменения параметров канала связи, таких как амплитудное и фазовое рассогласование квадратурных составляющих сигнала, а также отношение сигнал/шум. Проведен сравнительный анализ таких параметров сигналов, как занимаемая полоса частот, пик-фактор, частота появления битов с ошибкой. По результатам исследования получены графики зависимости вероятности ошибки и пик-фактора сигнала от рассогласования квадратурных составляющих для двух технологий – OFDM и UFMC. Проведенное исследование позволяет выделить преимущества технологии UFMC, которые выражаются в спектральной эффективности, помехоустойчивости и уровне пик-фактора сигнала.

<span>High-speed Terahertz communication systems has recently employed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing approach as it provides high spectral efficiency and avoids inter-symbol interference caused by dispersive channels. Such high-speed systems require extremely high-sampling <br /> time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters at the receiver. However, timing mismatch of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters significantly causes system performance degradation. In this paper, to avoid such performance degradation induced by timing mismatch, we theoretically determine maximum tolerable mismatch levels for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing communication systems. To obtain these levels, we first propose an analytical method to derive the bit error rate formula for quadrature and pulse amplitude modulations in Rayleigh fading channels, assuming binary reflected gray code (BRGC) mapping. Further, from the derived bit error rate (BER) expressions, we reveal a threshold of timing mismatch level for which error floors produced by the mismatch will be smaller than a given BER. Simulation results demonstrate that if we preserve mismatch level smaller than 25% of this obtained threshold, the BER performance degradation is smaller than 0.5 dB as compared to the case without timing mismatch.</span>

In this paper, a stacked autoencoder network is utilised to realise the signal constellation and transceivers adapted to the dimmable indoor visible light communication system in order to acquire lower symbol error probability. Its decoder parts function as denoising and the equaliser for the proposed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) visible light communication system which can compensate the non-linear transfer function and the crosstalk between multiple LED data streams. The bit error rate performance as well as the influence of LED spatial intervals on root mean square delay spread, impulse response and bit rate have been analysed considering multipath reflections of the indoor MIMO-VLC system. The numerical results show that the a stacked autoencoder technique performs better in bit error rate reduction compared with state-of-art the zero forcing and minimum mean squared error algorithm. The experiment also shows, when the semi-angle at half power of LEDs and the field of view of Photodetectors become small, better performance can be achieved at the centre of the room, which can be explained by strong beam converge and the decreased multipath interference. Moreover, enlarging the separation between LEDs leads to improved bit error rate performance and reduced channel correlation of channel matrix, which need to be optimally chosen in practice.
