Abstract:Abstract-In this paper we consider Turbo and RepeatAccumulate (RA) codes as well as bit-loading as methods of enhancing the performance of Multiband OFDM, a frequency-hopping orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing system which is a strong contender for the physical layer IEEE standard for high-rate wireless personal area networks (WPANs) based on ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission. Our methodology consists of (a) development and quantification of appropriate information-theoretic performance measures, and (… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
