Orthogonal Chirp Division Multiplexing (OCDM) is a modulation scheme which outperforms the conventional Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) under frequency selective channels by using chirp subcarriers. However, low complexity equalization algorithms for OCDM based systems under doubly selective channels have not been investigated yet. Moreover, in OCDM, the usage of different phase matrices in modulation will lead to extra storage overhead. In this paper, we investigate an OCDM based modulation scheme termed uniform phase-Orthogonal Chirp Division Multiplexing (UP-OCDM) for high-speed communication over doubly selective channels. With uniform phase matrices equipped, UP-OCDM can reduce the storage requirement of modulation. We also prove that like OCDM, the transform matrix of UP-OCDM is circulant. Based on the circulant transform matrix, we show that the channel matrices in UP-OCDM system over doubly selective channels have special structures that (1) the equivalent frequency-domain channel matrix can be approximated as a band matrix, and (2) the transform domain channel matrix in the framework of the basis expansion model (BEM) is a sum of the product of diagonal and circulant matrices. Based on these special channel structures, two low-complexity equalization algorithms are proposed for UP-OCDM in this paper. The equalization algorithms are based on block LDL H factorization and iterative matrix inversion, respectively. Numerical simulations are finally proposed to show the performance of UP-OCDM and the validity of the proposed low complexity equalization algorithms. It is shown that when the channel is doubly selective, UP-OCDM and OCDM have similar BER performance, and both of them outperform OFDM. Moreover, the proposed low complexity equalizers for UP-OCDM both show better BER performance than their OFDM counterparts.

This paper proposes <i>orthogonal time sequency multiplexing</i> (OTSM), a novel single carrier modulation scheme based on the well known Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) combined with row-column interleaving, and zero padding (ZP) between blocks in the time-domain. The information symbols in OTSM are multiplexed in the delay and sequency domain using a cascade of time-division and Walsh-Hadamard (sequency) multiplexing. By using the WHT for transmission and reception, the modulation and demodulation steps do not require any complex multiplications. We then propose two low-complexity detectors: (i) a simpler non-iterative detector based on a single tap minimum mean square time-frequency domain equalizer and (ii) an iterative time-domain detector. We demonstrate, via numerical simulations, that the proposed modulation scheme offers high performance gains over orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and exhibits the same performance of orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation, but with lower complexity. In proposing OTSM, along with simple detection schemes, we offer the lowest complexity solution to achieving reliable communication in high mobility wireless channels, as compared to the available schemes published so far in the literature.

The rapid growth within the field of digital communication during the recent years expanded the need for high-speed data transmission to support a wide range of services such as: video, data and voice in wireless communication systems, etc. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and a multicarrier modulation scheme are employed to achieve the high data rates. Since OFDM is very much sensitive to carrier frequency offsets, which cause the Inter-carrier Interference (ICI) leads to mitigation of this ICI is necessary. The objectives of this paper are to, proposed an efficient ICI self-cancellation scheme to mitigate the effect of ICI on OFDM systems. For this purpose, a redundant data is transmitted onto adjacent sub-carriers such that the ICI between adjacent sub-carriers cancels out at the receiver side. One data symbol is modulated into a group of adjacent sub carriers with a group of weighting coefficients. At the receiver side, the received signals are linearly combined on these sub carriers with proposed coefficients. The residual ICI contained in the received signals can then be further reduced. This study provides significant carrier-to-interference power ratio (CIR) improvement, which has been studied theoretically and supported by simulations. Since no channel equalization is required to reduce ICI, so the proposed scheme doesnt increase the system complexity.

Cognitive radio (CR) is considered nowadays as a strong candidate solution for the spectrum scarcity problem. On standards level, many cognitive radio standards have chosen Non-Contiguous Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (NC-OFDM) as their modulation scheme. Similar to OFDM, NC-OFDM suffers from the problem of having a high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR). If not solved, either the transmitted signal will be distorted, which will cause interference to primary (licensed) users, or the effeciency of the power amplifier will be seriously degraded. The effect of the PAPR problem in NC-OFDM based cognitive radio networks is worse than normal OFDM systems. In this paper, we propose enhanced techniques to reduce the PAPR in NC-OFDM systems. We start by showing that combining two standard PAPR reduction techniques (interleaver-based and selective mapping) results in a lower PAPR than using them individually. Then, an “adaptive number of interleavers” will be proposed that achieves the same performance of conventional interleaver-based PAPR reduction while reducing the CPU time by 41.3%. Finally, adaptive joint interleaver with selective mapping is presented, and we show that it gives the same performance as conventional interleaver-based technique, with reduction in CPU time by a factor of 50.1%.

We consider application of the discrete Fourier transform-spread orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (DFT-spread OFDM) technique to high-speed fiber optic communications. The DFT-spread OFDM is a form of single-carrier technique that possesses almost all advantages of the multicarrier OFDM technique (such as high spectral efficiency, flexible bandwidth allocation, low sampling rate, and low-complexity equalization). In particular, we consider the optical DFT-spread OFDM system with polarization division multiplexing (PDM) that employs a tone-by-tone linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer. We show that such a system offers a much lower peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) performance as well as better bit error rate (BER) performance compared with the optical OFDM system that employs amplitude clipping.

This paper proposes orthogonal time sequency multiplexing (OTSM), a novel single carrier modulation scheme that places information symbols in the delay-sequency domain followed by a cascade of time-division multiplexing (TDM) and Walsh-Hadamard sequence multiplexing. Thanks to the Walsh Hadamard transform (WHT), the modulation and demodulation do not require complex domain multiplications. For the proposed OTSM, we first derive the input-output relation in the delay-sequency domain and present a low complexity detection method taking advantage of zero-padding. We demonstrate via simulations that OTSM offers high performance gains over orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and similar performance to orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS), but at lower complexity owing to WHT. Then we propose a low complexity time-domain channel estimation method. Finally, we show how to include an outer error control code and a turbo decoder to improve error performance of the coded system.

<div>This paper presents a linear complexity iterative rake detector for the recently proposed orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation scheme. The basic idea is to extract and coherently combine the received multipath components of the transmitted symbols in the delay-Doppler grid using maximal ratio combining (MRC) to improve the SNR of the combined signal. We reformulate the OTFS input-output relation in simple vector form by placing guard null symbols or zero padding (ZP) in the delay-Doppler grid and exploiting the resulting circulant property of the blocks of the channel matrix. Using this vector input-output relation we propose a low complexity iterative decision feedback equalizer (DFE) based on MRC. The performance and complexity of the proposed detector favorably compares with the state of the art message passing detector. An alternative time domain MRC based detector is also proposed for even faster detection. We further propose a Gauss-Seidel based over-relaxation parameter in the rake detector to improve the performance and the convergence speed of the iterative detection. We also show how the MRC detector can be combined with outer error-correcting codes to operate as a turbo DFE scheme to further improve the error performance. </div><div>All results are compared with a baseline orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme employing a single tap minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer.</div>
