The impact of impulse postfix length on the BER performance of IP‐OFDM systems

Abstract

SUMMARYThe impulse postfix OFDM (IP-OFDM) system exploits the IP, which consists of a high power impulse sample and several zero samples at the end of a zero padded-OFDM symbol block, to estimate channel impulse response (CIR) in time domain. In this paper, the impact of IP length on the BER performance of the IP-OFDM system is analyzed. According to the analytic results, the BER performance can be significantly degraded with both a shorter length of IP as well as a longer length of IP than that of the CIR. Thus, an adaptive IP scheme, which adjusts the length of IP adaptively depending on the length of CIR, is proposed to enhance the BER performance of IP-OFDM systems and its effectiveness is demonstrated by computer simulations. The BER performance of the IP-OFDM systems with the proposed adaptive scheme is compared with that of the conventional IP-OFDM system over various modulation schemes. Simulation results show that the IP-OFDM with the proposed scheme can achieve about 2 dB performance enhancement compared with that of conventional systems at BER = 10 −2 .

Innovative theoretical modeling for the pulse point level detection on A/D converters involving pulse position modulation

“…With the expressive progress that is possible to visualize at this current moment with respect to the wireless technologies, one of the most important property we need to consider, is the technological platform we intend to use for the implementation of our numerical algorithms, since they must be written by observing the severe restrictions that were imposed with respect to for the security for all information in the entire traffic, [8]- [11].…”

Investigation of phantom circuit benefits for next generation xDSL systems

“…However, the application of VDMT and the process of DMT symbol coordination in large cable binders are computationally very demanding [8]; therefore, several scenarios with only partial VDMT application are being considered [9]. The methods for elimination of impulsive noise [10,11] as well as problems related with vectoring process used in VDMT [12] and high number of its sub-channels [13,14] are being discussed as well [15]. Another potential method for increasing the resulting transmission rate in G.fast is to use channel bonding and to aggregate several separate channels together [16,17].…”
