Modified OFDM Model Based on Sub-Sliding Window Technique

Abstract

In modern wireless communication systems, Doppler frequency reduction is employed for efficient transmission of data in noisy environments. Achieving a very less bit error rate (BER) has been the major task in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), which is a popular multicarrier modulation technique in IEEE 802.11a wireless systems and is currently being used in the IEEE 802.16e (WiMax) standard. This paper presents a modified sub-sliding window (SSW) technique that is used to improve the performance of OFDM modem for the physical layer of IEEE 802.11a standard. To carry out the simulations, the bit error rate performance of the modified and standard models is compared under the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and flat fading channel. The simulation results show that the combination of SSW and OFDM technology is superior to the OFDM standard technology.
